...first choice on the ballot will provide a rough estimate of the amount of discontent with the traditional patterns of Cambridge politics: it is a total which political veterans-especially the present City Councilors-will probably be watching closely.

The Federal National Mortgage Association, which is privately owned but Government-controlled, has become the principal source of funds for Federal Housing Administration and Veterans Administration loans. But money is so scarce that average private mortgage rates have risen from 6.4% two years ago to 8.1% now. Many borrowers must pay 81% or even 9%. Though the rates may fall a bit next year, they will probably stay high by historical...
