...have no reason to believe that Harvard's record as a landlord is any worse than that of others, and some reason to believe it may be better.

This is the one thing I'm against." History teaches this lesson...
Concluding an article in the New Yorker last July, Mumford described with evident admiration how Ralph Waldo Emerson prevented a riot in Concord one hundred years ago. Emerson asked the crowd with "calm reason," "Is this Concord?" Young people today would probably admire Emerson--but they also like the Cream...
