Fortunately, none of the obstacles that Bose mentions may be insurmountable. Substantial portions of the bike routes mapped out in the 1975 proposal are on Harvard's property. Moreover, the current construction in the Square affords an opportunity to widen or redesign several major streets to include bicycle lanes. And if the University is willing to hire several full-time policemen to keep bicyclists from entering the Yard, it ought to be willing to make a substantial investment in bicycle paths...

Rightists ride triumphant, but the nominee must widen his appeal to win Imagine this colloquy among Republican leaders as they gather around the celestial TV set to watch their party's convention. Theodore Roosevelt: It's a bully sight! Calvin Coolidge: Too expensive. Mark Hanna: Not much excitement. I can't see a single smoke-filled room. Henry Cabot Lodge: I'm worried about the westward tilt of the party. The East always supplied the intellectual leadership. T.R.: If I had not gone West . . . Coolidge: What's all this talk about winning the blue-collar vote? America's business...
