Cutbacks have already been made in the national HUD Model Cities staff, and the $1.5 million allocated for Cambridge this year may soon disappear. The local staff is trying to improvise ways of keeping current programs alive, forgetting for the moment about trying to create new ones. City Hall is awaiting its chance to take the program and its money away from the local residents. Nixon is effecting his domestic plans. And in the middle of it all, Cambridge Model Cities, as originally conceived, is swept away. A nice idea that perhaps couldn't have worked anyway, but it deserved...
...outcry from householders and merchants in crime-infested cities. The 1970 Housing Act empowers the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to start selling burglary, robbery and other forms of theft policies next Aug. 1 in states where private insurance is not available at "affordable rates."

Sackler, however, tries to effect that which he never possessed; and Ritt, himself far removed from his honest work, Edge of the City and Hud, cannot cover for him. The Jewish playwright is no longer in a position to voice radical ethos convincingly. That may be the real tragedy behind The Great White Hope...
...contract would provide job training for residents of the Model Cities neighborhood. It was passed by the City Council, 7-2, despite Cronin's opposing legal interpretation. HUD indicated in July that federal funds would be forthcoming...
