...voters may well overrule him. In a mayoral primary last week, the flamboyant mayor polled only 26% of the vote. Yorty came in a distant second to City Councilman Thomas Bradley, a Negro, who captured 42% of the total. A lawyer and former police lieutenant, Bradley, 51, fell short of the majority needed to prevent a May 27 runoff against Yorty. But by drawing 293,753 votes to Yorty's 183,334, he established himself as the favorite. Bradley's showing was more impressive for the fact that he was running in a field...
...case of NBC's report on religious bigotry in Northern Ireland and CBS's caustic look at Palm Beach millionaires-it can just as easily be gratuitous. Last week the First Tuesday segments dealt with a weight-reducing "fat farm" and a Christian anti-Communist crusade. Both fell into the void between irony and farce.

...drove off wildly--almost hysterically--into the mist, the forest, the hills, I was scared. Trees appeared out of nowhere; the cold air slapped me in the face at every turn. Soon, after a bump that sent me a foot in the air, I lost my grip and fell into the snow. As Tim went zoomnig off without me, I sank into the ice. I tried to get up, and I tripped. Twenty or 30 yards later, he realized what had happened. I got up and stumbled towards him, shouting profuse embarrassed apologies. Tim waited, revving up the motor...
LAST FALL a group a gadflies made things pretty hot for the management of the Harvard Cooperative Society. Although the organizers and supporters of the alternate slate for Board of Directors fell short in their bid to attract a quorum to the annual meeting, the Coop directors heard and took to heart the ideas generated by their opposition. Besides being concerned with the Coop's internal policies, the alternate slate, organized by Wesley E. Profit '69 and Steven P. Roose '70, was interested in improving the Coop's relationship with the larger community of Cambridge and Boston...
