...belong to the University. “We have the freedom to grow without having a very substantial impact on non-campus neighbors,” Cliatt said. She added that community input was being taken seriously by the University, especially on the matter of a proposed reconstruction of transit systems adjacent to the school’s property, which could have an impact on local residents. In contrast, Boston formed a mayor-appointed taskforce of Allston residents in 2006 to consult with the University on its expansion plans, and Harvard has negotiated extensively with the city about the benefits...

The two politicians who have waged a four-year struggle for leadership of the coalition take different positions on the gas issue: Tymoshenko demands that Ukraine raise transit prices for Russian gas and dump Rosukrenergo as a supplier. The latter campaign received a vigorous boost, late last month, when alleged crime boss Semyen Mogilevich, wanted by the U.S. on fraud and extortion charges, and long suspected of owning Rosukrenergo, was arrested in Moscow.

If negotiations do not diffuse the tensions in the next two weeks, Congress seems poised to intervene. But in the event that there is a strike, it will involve severe repercussions for transit systems throughout the Northeast, and any resolution will almost certainly require a government bailout. Such a scenario would highlight two striking problems with the current state of Amtrak—namely, the inefficiency of its control over major commuter rail stations and its inability to become financially self-sufficient...
