Sensing that rent control, recently scrapped next door in Somerville, was in trouble, and motivated by the well-financed campaigns of Sullivan and Francis Duehay '56, tenants, especially in mid-Cambridge, flocked to the polls. "David Sullivan pulled 700 brand-new votes out of the apartment buildings," School Committee member Glenn Koocher '71 said last week...

Despite fairly active campaigns, the pair finished 17th and 19th in the 23-man field. The only bright spot in the CCC showing was the strong slate identity--almost all Okun and Agee votes transferred to other...
