...engineers decided that any attempt to salvage the track would be wasted effort. Davis explains that the roadbed is fortunately low along Massachusetts Avenue, and for that reason two and one-half inches of tar can be applied directly on top of the track. Rather than harming the paving job, the track, instead, adds strength to the roadbed. Work will continue today and probably tomorrow, with traffic limited on Plympton, Dunster, Holyoke, and Lindon streets, and Massachusetts Avenue during most of the remaining construction...
...Then the job of contacting workers at the various college began. Here at Harvard, Jeremy C. Ulin '49 and Lawrence F. O'Donnell '49, a former CRIMSON editor, now at the Harvard Law School, undertook the tedious chore of enlisting Harvard sympathies for a Boston election. Partly because of the cosmopolitan group here and more because of an apathy even among the Boston residents, the work was slow.

Last week, "with great reluctance," he resigned from the $10,000-a-year job to return to the Manhattan law firm of Sullivan, Donovan & Heenehan as a partner. No politico, Hanrahan considered SEC a regulatory rather than a reform agency, thus got along fine with Wall Streeters. Besides, he understood Wall Street's problems and talked its language.
