Cambridge officials are ambivalent about the new emphasis that the Joint Center is apparently preparing to adopt. On the other hand, they recognize that the Center could help them cope with Cambridge's problems, and they resent what they consider the Center's neglect of Cambridge. "Most of those professors know their way around Washington better than they do around Cambridge," a Cambridge official declared recently.
