Though he has no real political base in the city, Edward Logue, head of the Boston Redevelopment Authority, which has performed a radical face lifting on the city's skyline in the past seven years, is given some chance of defeating Mrs. Hicks.

He set up a research group, which finally evolved a "fogbroom," a 30-in. by 48-in. aluminum frame strung with a half mile of nylon thread and rotated at 86 r.p.m. by a base-mounted motor. In a research chamber in which a prime New Jersey fog can be simulated, a row of fogbrooms substantially thinned a test fog in a minute and completely cleaned it up in five minutes...
