...order to gain tax-exempt status PUMA as an organization must refrain from any formal political lobbying efforts. Nevertheless, PUMA members have been involved in lobbying at the State House to decriminalize prostitution, often working through Prostitutes for Legislative Reform. Lewis and Weeks praise some legislators--State Reps. Barney Frank '61, Mel King and Elaine Noble--for being supportive. But their meetings with some other politicians have been frustrating. In one meeting at the State House, the legislature's leading anti-abortion crusader started spouting Biblical injunctions as soon as Lewis explained his purpose. Lewis hates that at least...
...union is also seeking to restrict the hospitals' ability to bring in consulting firms to fight the union. Working with State Rep. Barney Frank, Shea has succeeded in having introduced in the State legislature a bill that would prevent hospitals from using federal funds like Medicaid to pay firms like Modern Management Methods. Beth Israel did so during an unsuccessful unionizing drive in 1974, and a State regulatory agency for hospitals required that the hospital return the money to Medicaid because the expense was not related to patient care. The union's bill has encountered some resistance in the legislature...

She supported the two referenda questions and sought out moderate reformers, yet not once during the campaign did she offer striking proposals for change. Instead, she presented a flexible image as if she were starring in a replay of the 1976 Carter presidential...
...bill with pro-gay orientation could get through the House, it was this one. State Rep. Barney Frank minimized the moral issue of homosexuality by cautioning the House that the bill was not a statement of support for gay rights but rather, as he says, "a request from one group of citizens that they want to work on the same terms as everyone else." Work, mind you, not love. That will have to come even later. And the bill failed. Why? Will it pass in 1979? 1989? Why do they force us to wait...
