Replete with a lot of equally idle speech and subsequent applause, the meeting seemed to have been packed by different factions. Down front of me I noticed one notoriously conservative classics teacher sitting all by himself, raising his hand dutifully at every opportunity to vote down the strike or against realizing one of the "demands" -as they were affectionately termed by their sponsors.

In describing it in the interviews, several said that the place was minor compared to the experiences they...
...around the housing issue. This organizing is in itself notable, since lower-income residents in Cambridge-as in most other cities have seldom generated many or effective voluntary organizations. The depth of the housing crisis has provided a spark for such organizing; the Peace and Freedom radicals, on one hand, and young anti-poverty staffers on the other have been rushing...
