Graham has already let it be known that she wants an even split on those more attractive 200 riverfront units, with her community getting 100 of them. And she says she will fight Harvard both there and at the Sachs Estate (Shady Hill) if necessary...

They launched a thorough investigation of the project and within two weeks produced a detailed report showing the expressway to be the result of shoddy planning. Their findings did not endear them to the Chamber of Commerce-nor, they were astonished to find, to many of their lifelong friends. They were quietly but firmly pushed out of what they refer...
