From the congestion of the Square, the 69 Lechmere bus rolls east on Cambridge St. As the bus passes Inman Square, the scenery begins to change. The four and five-family dwellings and office fronts that characterize the tenant-dominated mid-Cambridge district disappear. In their place are small shops lining both sides of the street. Store fronts carry names like Ciampa, Santoro or Lupardo. A turn to the right or left on an intersecting road leads to blocks of single-family homes, many with extra space for a relative's family on the second floor. This is East Cambridge...

He has his pension and can leave when he likes...
...stories that are running around about major policy differences and personality disputes are just plain false." He contended that he was involved only in the routine kind of conflicts that always go on in Government and that they had nothing to do with his resignation. Unfortunately, Bobby Inman made that point in a telephone conversation. There was no way to determine whether he was hitching up his socks as he spoke...
