Somehow, real life dramas never endure so beautifully as fairy tales. A number of tenants in 22-24 Prescott St., a Harvard owned building, complained in November about their building's condition and the repairs have not yet been completed.

He has taught the cleaning women his practice gym to lay down their brooms and pick up the beat. Wearing toothless smiles and saying "disco disco," they twitch to the music in a most un-Soviet manner...
...which to buy narcotics and pay informants. So far businesses, churches and citizens of Marlow have chipped in $1,000. Last week, using some of their new cash, police paid off an informer, then arrested a suspected dealer and confiscated $2,500 worth of narcotics. Proving once again, as St. Paul observed, that charity rejoiceth not in iniquity...
