...Crimson betrays a bias in this direction (and also a sensationalist streak) by labelling as an "abortion fund" an RUS medical emergency loan fund which could also be drawn upon by a Radcliffe student choosing to bear her child. The fact that so few women choose this difficult alternative reflects the lack of encouragement and practical support for this option among counselors, and in society at large...
...emphasis is strange. "Politics as if people mattered" turns out to be how picking the utility rates issue was "fortuitous for the organization [ACORN]," how other so-called radical organizations are involving, more activists "because it worked . . . they have a common vision . . . they must show results."

Behind Celebrezze and Russo jogs Michael Climaco, another young city councilman whose big issues are social security rip--offs and reducing U.S. imports. Despite his bias, Nixon is on target when he says, "Climaco has a good deal of polish but he's not big on substance. He gets all kinds of political mileage by wrapping himself in the flag and talking about things everyone has to be concerned about--but getting the facts wrong...
