...first long-range plan was published in 1960 by the Corporation and is, for the most part, similar to the report published in June 1974. The latter document, however, contains the boundary lines that Charles U. Daly, then vice president for government and community affairs, proposed in an October 1972, report to the community...
Drawning up the current plans was a difficult project, according to Supratik Bose, manager of long-range planning, who wrote the report. There are many internal planning issues that have not been stated in the long-range plan because it was a public document, Bose says, citing such minor projects as building renovations and determining where to place bicycle racks on the campus. Bose says that while he was writing the report, he wanted it to be more specific, and also to include an in-house document. Most Harvard officials were not keen on the idea, he says...

The report praises imaginative crime-control tactics like Washington's Operation Sting, in which phony fences were set up to receive stolen goods while officials secretly photographed and recorded...
...must endure a nonstop struggle to keep it gassed up and running. Pump stations are few and far between. In the entire U.S.S.R., only 135 service stations are equipped to make even routine repairs; a mere 30 service centers can do major overhauls. Though the Soviet press does not report statistics, auto crashes are numerous, and the fatality rate is high. In some areas, more than a third of the auto accidents result in the death of at least one person. Maybe things will get better in the next generation. In several Soviet towns, including the Transcaucasian city of Kirovabad...
