...chose not to wear his ancestry as a social decoration but to accept it as a present doom and to argue with the Pilgrim Fathers as if they were living men. His poems call the Puritan spirit of New England to sharp account and make his ancestral portraits step from their frames and answer to Lowell. Thus his dialogue becomes an argument about his own nature, in terms of the Calvinist obsessions with sin, damnation, God and Satan. Lowell does not possess his ancestors; they possess...
...virtually a new face when he decided to run for outgoing Governor William Scranton's job. Buoyed by his heady victory last year, Republican Shafer lost no time rushing in where angels-and Scranton-had trod to their regret. As his administration's first major project, he chose revision of the state's antiquated constitution.

Magraw wouldn't be identified by the Masters and the Deans as one of those pushy Lowell House radicals...
...extra efforts to stabilize the highway in the shifty subsoil of the Charles River Basin. The DPW would also have had to admit to the federal government (which pays 90 per cent of the highway's costs) that it was wrong more than a year ago when it first chose the Brookline-Elm route; the DPW was not to be moved easily from its initial endorsement just because Gov. John A. Volpe -- in the midst of a campaign for reelection -- had ordered a restudy of the highway...
