...current site of the Brighton Mills Shopping Center. While development could progress on Harvard’s existing Allston holdings without this land swap, we believe that any future campus across the river with a five-acre lacuna at its heart would ultimately be second-best. This triangular plot is crucial to Harvard’s vision of reinvigorating the intersection known as “Barry’s Corner...

Barring any renewed bursts of urban violence that could send masses of frightened conservatives into the National Front's camp, political analyst Dominique Reyni? says the triangular split between Le Pen, de Villiers and presidential frontrunner Sarkozy could actually hurt the right's prospects. If Le Pen and Sarkozy were to savage one another ahead of the first round of presidential voting, after all, it could lead embittered backers of whichever candidate doesn't make the run-off to withhold their votes...
