...plan will cut off the two streets from what is now a six-way intersection where Garden St., Concord Ave., Follen and Little Concord meet. With the change, that patch of road, which sits in front of the Longy School of Music, will become a more conventional four-way intersection...
...Republicans have their own mixed blessing in the religious right.

Yet their rivalry has stirred deep divisions among progressive women who seemingly cannot stomach the thought of two women competing for the same office. Holtzman finds the quandary absurd, particularly since she and Ferraro stand far apart on certain issues. Ferraro, for example, backs the death penalty, while Holtzman...
