...Cambridge is not only facing a period of major and uncertain physical change. It is also experiencing less obvious, but no less important, social changes. The most prominent, most publicly-discussed of these is the influx of "transients...
Them v.. Us. In the state legislatures, most rural representatives feared that reapportionment would mean an influx of city slickers who would, as one Illinois Representative put it, "run roughshod over downstate wishes." What has saved downstate Illinois-and upstate New York, and eastern Washington, and western Tennessee, as well-from the city boys has been the suburban influence...
...Cambridge faces the prospect of long term industrial expansion. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is building a $60 million research laboratory next to M.I.T.

In the face of that influx, Kodak has done its part to hold the unemployment rate at a remarkably low 1.7%; last year alone, the company hired 600 Negroes. But by entering into the Dec. 20 agreement, Kodak undeniably blundered-for which it has apologized publicly time and again...
