...number one vote totals of all the CCA candidates that depend heavily on upper-class West Cambridge--that is, all the CCA candidates except David Sullivan, and minor challenger Bob White--will be reduced by the strong slate.

...David Sullivan on many issues, but rejects the CCA for its "elitism." He might turn in a showing good enough to let him run more credibly in 1983. And Alvin Thompson's vote will be an interesting test of the thesis that the fortunes of a Black candidate depend on a CCA endorsement.

There are two types of plays in Tiddlywinks. One is potting--what laymen usually consider the object of the game--to get the winks in the cup at the center of the playing field.

Points are tallied at the end to determine the winner: one point for every unsquopped wink and three for each potted...
