...sum, the real estate and housing policy of Harvard in Cambridge can be stated as follows: First, to acquire real estate only for educational purposes and not as an investment; second, to seek to provide housing for its faculty and students with minimum injury to the community; third, to expand vertically (with high-rise construction) rather than laterally (by new property acquisitions) wherever possible; and fourth, to remain within the area bounded by Garfield Street to the north and Putnam Avenue to the southeast. Additionally, the university has since 1928 made voluntary payments in lieu of taxes to the City...
...answer, of course, is not to abandon the automobile?except in the central city?but to restore the balance. The Government already supports mass transit ($153 million this year, v. $4.1 billion for roads). Without costing the taxpayer an extra penny, it could multiply this sum 13 times simply by diverting half the money it spends for roads to transit lines. To improve the civic order, the Nixon Administration could also grant more generous funds for planning and esthetic improvements, going so far as to deny federal grants for such things as sewage plants to municipalities that continue to ignore...
While many of the plans and programs discussed in the preceding section require nothing more than a change of mind-admittedly, not always an easy thing-others require substantial sums of money. The total might amount to a possible $30 billion, obviously an unrealistic sum in the next two or three years. Even if priorities are worked out, the question remains: where is the money to come from? Can the U.S. afford it? In managing the nation's economy, President Nixon's freedom of maneuver will be fairly circumscribed at first; he inherits from Johnson a budget that...
...sum, the Houses are the focus of social relationships at Harvard. The large majority of Harvard students' social relationships develop within their House or dormitory. The proximity of a certain group of people, the ease of finding them, informal talk in the dining hall or entries or on floors, participation in common events, all encourage the natural development of friendships and social ties. The type of environment provided by the House is provided in no other context except, for a very small number of students, by an extracurricular activity (e.g., the CRIMSON or PBH). Although other aspects of Harvard...
Lapidary Care. As for plot, Red Beard could be Dr. Gillespie, and the intern Dr. Kildare: the story is that simple. But where his hero is a physician, Kurosawa is a metaphysician. Going beneath the bathos, he explores his characters' psychology until their frailties and strengths become a sum of humanity itself. Despite his pretensions, the young doctor is as flawed-and believable-as his patients. If Red Beard himself is a heroic figure, he is nonetheless cast in a decidedly human mold: gruff and sometimes violent-as when he forcibly takes the girl from her captors-he keeps...
