Life in the other Washington has been getting tougher. Last summer Barry had to resolve a city ambulance crisis after several people died because poorly trained drivers got lost on the way to rescues. With a record 372 homicides last year, Washington has the nation's third highest murder rate. More than half the killings were related to the large quantities of drugs sold in some 200 street markets around town.

Harvard pulled the same stunt in 1955, when it demolished Shady Hill, the much-loved old Norton mansion, during summer vacation. What astonishes me is the crassness with which the University thinks it can bulldoze informed and heartfelt reservations about its plans--reservations based on crucial issues of the urban environment, student and faculty working conditions, and the purpose of the University...
