...level consistent with their ability to pay. That solution, obviously, cannot be implemented by any city alone. Public money in adequate amounts to reduce the cost of land and operating expenses simply is not in our hands at the municipal level of government. It can--and must--be put into our hands by the Commonwealth and the Federal government. That has not been done so far. (Cited figures on national spending for housing in comparison to other purposes). A complete answer to the Cambridge housing crisis, and the housing problem in any city, depends ultimately on a fundamental, dramatic shifting...
First, we must have the remaining 270 units, allocate to the Authority under the short-team lease program, under lease and occupied no later than the end of the summer. If additional units will be available which cannot be put under lease until after that time, the Authority should make application quickly for additional Federal authorizations. Allocations for another program, which allows leases up to 40 years to be made by the Authority, will be sought concurrently...
...hard that is to do under restrictive Federal cost and design regulations. We must stop talking about the need for more housing for low-income families, but objecting when a site in our own neighborhood is proposed. The Council and the Authority must respond promptly and positively to proposals put before them.

Failure to do that has been a weakness of public housing programs in city after city, but we cannot...

I believe it was George Orwell who said that the problem with socialism is that it takes up too many weekday nights. Well, the problem with campus disorder is that it takes up twenty-four hours a day. After...
...agents and a portly director named Henry Koster, who wants to match a 1937 Koster triumph (Deanna Durbin and Leopold Stokowski in A Hundred Men and a Girl) with a new musical concoction. Koster outlines the story. A touring symphony orchestra is about to return to New York to put on a charity program "for crippled children." The cymbal player comes down with a contagious disease in Moscow ("We can work out the disease later"), and the whole orchestra is quarantined-all except its Lenny Bernstein-type conductor. He rushes home but cannot find a substitute orchestra and is about...
