...such design innovations probably would not be enough to quell the aesthetic fears of Harvard Square residents. "There's a place for MacDonalds in society, but they don't have to be everywhere," Gifford said. "It would be a shame to have Harvard Square go the same way as other urban areas and becoming homogenized...
...record of Harvard students on connecting their politics to their real lives is not consistently good. Graduates of the late 1960s, who so vociferously protested the war in Vietnam, now look back with shame to their decision to evade the draft and their effective decision to leave the burden of that war on the poor of this country. In a poignant article he wrote for The Washington Monthly in 1975, the journalist James Fallows, a member of the Harvard Class of 1970, recalled that rationalizations he and his classmates used for their action, most notably the argument that...

It recalls that southern hypocrisy of a generation ago, not Harvard's "pursuit of truth." The premise that pursuit of truth indeed leads to justice is one of the foundations of Western civilization, however often ignored or given only lip service. Is it necessary to repeat former South African Prime Minister Verster's statement that "each trade agreement, each bank loan, each new investment is another brick...
