All the new buildings either have their own infirmaries and medical clinics or have special arrangements with a nearby hospital...
Edward L. Bernays, the retired "father of public relations" who directed the battle "to save the sycamores" from succumbing to a proposed underpass on Memorial Drive, demonstrated this fact to the Cambridge community last year. And the residents of the tiny North Harvard neighborhood behind the Business School brought it home again last month, when, after a three-year battle, they changed the Boston Redevelopment Authority's urban renewal plan for their community from one of demolition to one of substantial rehabilitation...
