Carol Evans, running as a member of the Socialist Workers Party, has all the right qualifications that a left-wing candidate should have: She was up to her neck in the anti-war movement; she was a founding coordinator of the Committee to Defend Abortion Rights, which supported Kenneth Edelin; she has long been involved in the struggle to desegregate Boston schools...
President Bok says Harvard may take the residents' case to court, if the city council should approve the down-zoning petition submitted to them in September. Harvard officials staunchly defend Harvard's right to build in Cambridge. It is really too late, they imply, for Cambridge to alter its collegiate, intellectual atmosphere. Muffin houses will continue to open and close in Harvard Square probably forever, but whether Cambridge will be able to accept its fate and work out an arrangement with the universities whereby they too can have some say in what happens to their city, is still unclear
Vellucci's logic may or may not be true--certainly, most of the campaign workers in his office that night cited the mayor's stand for rent control and against condominium conversion, instead of an urge to defend his integrity, as motives for supporting him.

This issue may loom even larger during the coming year as the CRP decides whether to apply for renewed recognition from the American...
...series of tactical disasters for the army. Indiscriminate army searches, groundless arrests, the use of rubber bullets, and especially the internment of political suspects (now ended)--all these have alienated the Catholic community. Whatever argument can be erected in the defense of these as military necessities, no argument can defend the general "tone" of the army's conduct in carrying them out. Despite the denials and counter-accusations, there is little doubt that the army has committed with some regularity acts of gross harassment, beatings, psychological brutalities and other rights violations. That is, it employs 'counter'-'terror' in the true...
