JFK'S DREAM?

To the Editors of The Crimson:

Regarding Park Plaza:

If the Combat Zone must be replaced by something, why not by the Kennedy Library? Judging by the popularity of other Presidential Libraries, a JFK Memorial would attract tourists enough to revitalize downtown Boston. It seems clear that citizens of Cambridge don't want these tourists.

Also the proponents of the JFK memorial speak of carrying out his dream to bring politics and academia closer together. What could further this end more than locating the school of politics in Park Square, adjacent to both the State House and Boston City Hall? Joseph Schirmer   Ward 10
