State Representative Kevin G. Honan, a Democrat, attributed the unusually high turnout to Allston residents’ hope that University officials would adapt the master plan more directly to neighborhood concerns. “It’s a difficult time in the process.

...less fun if you are there with a date, a friend, instead of someone you are deeply involved with," he says. He has had two such relationships recently with women who have young children, and says he has a potential wife in mind, although he does not discuss the matter further. Daughter Nancy, 23, believes being unmarried has made Simon more conscious of his age. Certainly he has gone through a moody period of late, one that has made him willing to talk about his worries and insecurity in conversation and not just through his work?a pursuit that...
