...Kazan] conceived and co-founded the most influential teaching institution in U.S. theater history, the Actors Studio ... In the '60s he would absorb much of the blame for the failed first attempt to establish a repertory theater at New York City's Lincoln Center and amaze himself, among others, by becoming a best-selling novelist (The Arrangement). A sense of worthlessness, Kazan says, is what drove him. It stemmed from his foreignness (he immigrated to the U.S. with his Greek parents when he was four); his lack of social status at Williams College, which he worked his way through...
...gleaned from flashbacks and black-and-white photographs and memories of a time when checking off “White” on a Navy identification card was the ticket to a future free of racial shackles. Silk’s reinvention of his own identity is such that blame for a racial slur cannot prod him into telling the truth about his perfectly constructed life. These long years of ironic sacrifice are what Zuckerman chronicles in an attempt to weave together a Forrest Gump-like pastiche of recent American history...

While these apartments have not gone up as much as average apartments in Cambridge, there are also large amounts of property Harvard owns and rents for purely commercial pursuits. And of course it goes without saying that Harvard students are partly to blame for driving up the cost of housing. Few people have more money than Harvard students, or rather, the parents of Harvard students, and as long as grad students and those living off campus are willing to pay ridiculous rents, property owners will continue to raise the price as high...
...forced to move to more affordable towns with poorer school systems, less access to jobs and transportation and increased distance from friends and neighbors. Students drive up the cost of apartments and attend a school that could alleviate the current affordable housing crisis. My intention is not to assign blame, but to point out that we have a duty to do something to alleviate the problem we have helped create...
