After a loss to Cornell which no one noticed, Boston's attention focused on wisps of smoke above the Vatican and the elevation of Cardinal Cushing--events which monopolized local front pages as to tempt readers to forget the Reformation had ever taken place. Occasionally politics managed to break into the headlines. Senator Kennedy returned to Cambridge, and, in an attempt to capture the "outer fringe" vote, dined with Councilman Al Vellucci...
