Speaking for much of the local community, Cambridge Mayor Alice K. Wolf insists fast food restaurants would destroy the sanctity and unique character of Harvard Square. The presence of high-profit fast food chains in the Square would drive up rents and, she argues, force the smaller, family-owned restaurants and stores out of business...
...that the vandals are Harvard students or affiliates. The location is removed from the Square, off the normal path of visitors to the area. And, as shown above, the act had to be done by people who knew the location, knew the structure, and could plan a time to destroy it unnoticed.

Not everyone, though, would approve this use of an expensive technology...
...Iraq invaded Kuwait. In plain language he threatened to veto any congressional loan bill that might emerge before the prospective Middle East peace conference, which he hopes to get off the ground next month. Pounding the lectern, he warned that a divisive congressional debate over the guarantees "could well destroy our ability to bring one or more of the parties" to the Middle East peace table. "Too much is at stake to let domestic politics take precedence over peace," Bush declared...
