Representative Lee Gate, champion of Crotaphytus collaris, introduced a prime boomer in a box to the assembly. The box fell. The lizard leaped. A fleet-footed fellow, he accomplished several laps around the chamber floor before being collared. Despite impressive arguments by a state senator who favored the horned toad, Crotaphytus collaris will share honors with mistletoe (Phoradendron flavescens), the state flower; the redbud (Cercis canadensis), the state tree; and the scissor-tailed flycatcher (Muscivora forficatd), the state's official bird.

A magnificent ceremonial flight of stairs leads, like a cascade of red Boston brick, from one lobby up to a huge city council chamber and the mayor's offices...
...ONLY Harvard is difficult, however--BAD is also doing battle with the Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce. The newspaper had asked the Chamber of Commerce to distribute free copies at its Information Bureau as a means of spreading information about the city. In order for this to be possible, they were told, BAD must first be a member of the Chamber of Commerce--for $100. "I told them we'd support them if they could show that what they were doing was not for self-interest and not opposed to the good of the city," Lewis said. "Meanwhile convention chairmen arrange...
