...reaction of Cambridge civic groups to the appointment of Maguire has been mild. No one from Oliver Brooks, chairman of the Harvard Square Task Force, to Saundra Graham, the usually provocative city councilwoman, had even heard the firm's name before the GSA announcement...
When election results were tallied, it became evident that some kind of leftist-student victory had been won. Although the police control initiative failed--largely because it didn't get much middle-class black support--two Coalition councilmen (both black lawyers) and a Coalition councilwoman (a self-described "populist radical") squeaked by the large field of candidates, along with Warren Widener, a black mayoral candidate expected to side with the Coalition on nearly all issues except the police initiative.

Foreign observers may need convincing, but at least one Brazilian legislator is certain of the program's value. When the town council of the city of Campinas convenes, Councilwoman Clara de Oliveira says she will propose the inclusion of 150 prostitutes in the program. She is convinced that the ladies assumed their profession for want of education...
