...additional land provided by Harvard in the latest draft allowed planners to reduce the total number of units on the site while increasing the number of actual buildings, replacing several larger, multi-unit buildings with smaller structures. Jacques says the development??s height and density, which had been one of the main concerns in the original plan, will now be comparable to those of its surrounding neighborhood...
...essentially a chick flick, and it may be unfair to approach it expecting anything like depth. But the idea of looking for an articulate female self-consciousness in the movies isn’t irrational. Indeed, it’s in cinema—a very 20th-century development??that many of the most nuanced, sensitive portrayals of women over the last century can be found.

No matter how we spin it, slower Allston construction means less science research in the medium term. It also means fewer students enrolled and less academic expansion into other fields.

Perhaps most importantly, department cuts not only affect the quality of the catering at faculty meetings but also...

The idea of withdrawing funds that support the most cutting-edge research by the nation’s best and brightest in a field in which the U.S. has perhaps the largest lead over any other in the world—advanced technological development??is questionable at best. It goes directly against the ideals he has promoted domestically of stimulating our economy, supporting science and technology, and providing opportunities for young engineers and scientists to engage in the most exciting and advanced work possible, and it is certainly not welcome news...
