...without replacing them with equivalent revenue sources. The university still has a duty to show that it recognizes the needs of Allston’s economy. Additionally, it needs consider smaller but still-pressing concerns, such as the problem of rats originating from Harvard construction sites. Allston must remain a good place in which to live and work...
...TIME editor Rick Stengel and TIME.com managing editor Josh Tyrangiel, we found that you could not throw a rock in Detroit without hitting a good story. In this issue, you'll read Daniel Okrent's insightful analysis of how Detroit got off track and how the hardy souls who remain are fighting for the city's future.

I'm told the Secretaries of both State and Defense and National Security Adviser Jim Jones warily favor the military's request for more troops. But Vice President Joe Biden and, perhaps, the President remain skeptics - and rightly so, since any military policy depends on whether the Afghan government can regain some credibility after the flagrantly corrupt August elections. If Hamid Karzai limps into a second term but does not make some major reforms - like removing his brother from power in Kandahar province - we will not have...
