Nestled between the laboratories of MIT and the small factories that are the lifeblood of the East Cambridge working-class neighborhoods, it is also caught between two strange bed-fellows who coexist in an uneasy, often antagonistic truce...
...years since Feeney's excommunication, Catholicism has grown remarkably tolerant of far-left theologies, so it is perhaps only fair that it should seek a truce with its right-wing extremists.

Greece refused, insisting that it would not negotiate at "the point of a gun," particularly since the Turks continued to break the cease-fire in small skirmishes. Throughout the fighting, the over 4,000-man United Nations peace-keeping force had been able to do nothing to implement a cease-fire demand issued by the Security Council, and the Turks were not scrupulous about protecting U.N. neutrality. During the fighting, three of the blue...
