Construction of four-story office building on the site between Plympton and Linden Streets across from the Yard is scheduled to begin in January and continue for 14 months. The businesses occupying the block will be forced to relocate before the work begins, and some store owners have said they will not be able to afford the higher rents for their old locations when the construction is complete...
...Miskito Indian population. On the subject of exporting revolution, the White Paper charges that some 200 tons of weapons were shipped to Salvadoran guerrillas between late 1979 and early 1981.

Archaeological sites are as diverse as the people who inhabited them or the diggers who rescue them, and the romance of the profession or the site rarely meets public expectations. The demise of the ICA at Harvard--and the PAL at Brown--links them with the ebb and flow of the sites they studied, all of which were once hives of activity, now dormant. No doubt, in a field that preys upon itself, some future doctoral candidate will write her or his discretion...
