...Allston residents and Harvard in mind and is well placed to make a judgment on this land. Development across the river is vital to the future growth of the University and is currently welcomed by Allston residents who would be thrilled to see their neighborhood thrive. An unpleasant urban wasteland abuts this vital railyard, and Harvard development of the other 44 acres of this 91-acre parcel could clean up the neighborhood while preserving the railyard. Since Barrios also represents a good number of working class voters, he is aware of the hardships another MBTA fare hike would bring...
Lots of people from the feature-film business have tried to create television shows, and the vast majority have failed. Most of them, deep down, thought network television was a wasteland that would be awed by 44-minute versions of their films. But Bruckheimer likes TV.

Besides all the obvious token emptiness, there’s the worst poseur romance move of them all: that uncomfortable “post-hook-up” thing, where some people just don’t know...
...Iranian side is just as vacant of authority as the Pakistani and Afghan frontiers. But it's also possible that if bin Laden was in the vicinity, he remained in the mountains around Ribat Qila. A five-year drought has emptied the area, and abandoned mud houses litter the wasteland. Sometimes I'd see a 4-by-4 parked outside an isolated house, and my guide would tell me it probably belonged to a smuggler. Who knows? It could easily have been al-Qaeda...
