...became apparent that small cutbacks to House barbeques and formals were not going to be the end of the cutbacks. February brought on the announcement of a major delay of the Harvard-Allston construction, an unfortunate move that will only delay Harvard’s science and research, and worsen already strained relations with Allston neighbors. We are mindful of the financial challenges and mental stress that this situation is placing on Harvard’s administrators, but as Boston Mayor Thomas Menino pointed out in a letter to Faust, we have to push forward and keep our promises...

"If the disease starts spreading in a particular area, for example, and affects thousands of people, then we hope that our system would detect that within 24 hours," says Ginsberg. The idea would be to catch the rise in cases before too many people...
