EVERY BALLET THEATRE has its ups and downs, but it isn't expected in a national company like the American Ballet Theatre (ABT). The troupe's performance Tuesday night at the Wang Center for the performing Arts was very inconsistent beginning with a disappointingly, syrupy piece and then finishing with a brilliant, upbeat dance...

And Robert White, despite a long history of tenant activism, found it next to impossible to break into the solid support of Cambridge apartment-dwellers for David Sullivan. Abt's candidacy may have proved this lesson most of all--despite high name visibility, enormous amounts of money, and an issue-oriented campaign, she was unable to switch many of the voters who normally give their support to one of the other CCA candidates.
