Ginsburg, the non-student of the three has been doing most of the work this fall as manager of the Compatibility Research offices on Central Square. The offices are unadorned except for five long tables. At these tables three secretaries work to cut and pencil their way through the day's intake of money and completed questionnaires. Ginsburg, who wants to go to Harvard next year, spends 70 hours a week at the office...
...background enables him to understand and deal effectively with the two major elements in the City--the university and "non-university" communities. McGovern grew up in the Central Square area, attended Harvard as an undergraduate, and then spent a year at the School of Education.

Advantageous though the delay was to Central, it has already cost, by conservative estimate, $240 million in potential savings-and will cost a lot more before the ICC makes its final decision, expected...
