When the Margaret Full House went up in flames the following fall, a member of its board of directors blamed neighborhood terrorists. And one local teenager set fire to Harvard Stadium in the closing days of the ’81 school year.Most of the stadium’s massive concrete amphitheater was left unharmed, but the arsonist found easy kindling in the wooden press box. The ancient structure had played home to decades of reporters and commentators...
