...everyone who makes the day-long ascent of Adams believes that it is ethereally or divinely endowed. But most will cite a certain mystique about the mountain which they attribute to the physical characteristics of the mountain and not to mystical qualities. One of the most crowded times at the summit of Adams is just before sunset. And the hikers who grope slowly back down to shelter below the timberline in the shimmering darkness after watching the sunset will never argue that what they have just witnessed was a most spectacular scene.

Their predictions never materialized. The 1973 race for city council and the school committee has proceeded as in past years with perhaps a little less spark than usual, not only among the students but among the citizens outside the walls of the Yard. In fact, at candidates meetings during the past month, the candidates have found themselves outnumbering the electorate. It would be hard to imagine...
