Councillors did not just express concern over noisy late-night inebriation, asking Healy to “report on the status of requested changes” to the city’s zoning ordinances requiring noise affidavits for daytime construction jobs. These affidavits require building contractors to agree in writing not to violate noise regulations when they install loud equipment, such as air conditioners...
This year’s transition from the University-wide Springfest to an undergrad-only Yardfest shifted the focus from six-year-olds to college students. And by holding the event in the Yard, organizers could allow undergrads to interact freely without serious concern that unruly behavior would trouble Cambridge or Allston residents. The result was an afternoon that included alcohol at UC-sponsored House stein clubs—incidentally, a clever strategy to tie House life to College community—but didn’t require a contingent of supervising cops à la Harvard-Yale.

So even though polls show immigration as second only to the debt-ridden National Health Service as a cause of voter concern, Labour is ill-placed to take advantage of the issue. The Conservatives, having focused on immigration last year in their unsuccessful attempt to unseat Blair, are wary of repeating the strategy under new leader David Cameron, who wants to reposition his party as more inclusive and faces an important first test...
