...want the dining hall staff in general and the meal checkers in particular to know that I regard all of you as valued and respected colleagues with whom I enjoy working on behalf of Quincy House.

Running a real estate operation is never easy, especially in a university environment. There are many seemingly irreconcilable interests. Mrs. Zeckhauser has a high rate of success in reconciling these interests and at the same time putting Harvard's real estate house in order and improving the housing stock in Cambridge. As someone who has worked closely with her for a number of years, I know that the indictment of her is uninformed...
