...paid to the city each year in 1979, but tenant lawyer Sullivan estimates that Harvard still pays only about 25 per cent of what it would in taxes. "Harvard recently has been taking more property off the tax rolls," the letter to the Board of Overseers states, citing as proof the University's purchase of the Continental Hotel and the refurbishing of a building on Sumner Rd. City councilor and former Cambridge Mayor Alfred E. Vellucci, a longtime foe of the University, demanded in January that Harvard increase its in-lieu-of-tax payment, later asked for a review...
...activity this University has seen. Just as the police bust was the last vain attempt of the Harvard administration to restore its own vision of a Harvard that had quite simply ceased to exist, the strike that followed it marked a startling new beginning for students at this school--proof that students can make themselves heard, even in the massive bureaucracy at the center of the Yard...

Quite clearly, the autonomy negotiations will be long and difficult.

Jarvis, once described as "a steady, virile race with a marked propensity for hard work but an extraordinarily crooked, suspicious outlook on life generally." One departing Israeli official noted sarcastically that the biggest Egyptian flags in El Arish last week were flying from...
More than anywhere else, the ripples have grown into a wave of protest in Switzerland. Last week, in a national referendum, 70% of the voters favored much tighter controls on nuclear construction. No new plant can be built until planners submit proof that 1) it is definitely needed, and 2) the waste-disposal problem is solved. The measure also shifts nuclear regulatory authority from the energy ministry to the Swiss parliament, where interminable delays are expected...
