...Cambridge City Council election seems to attract. Even though he is running on a shoe-string budget--his bumper stickers are the left-overs of former Massachusetts Attorney General Robert Quinn's governors campaign that have been stripped clean and reprinted--Spartichino insists that the north Cambridge voters that kept him in the State Legislature from 1956 to 1966 can send him to the council...
...concern for solidarity has resulted in very powerful unions (virtually all wage-earners are union members) and centralized wage negotiations. On the political front, the Social Democrats committed themselves to socialism in the long run and Keynesianism and the welfare state in the short run.

...memory of last year's humiliating 9-0 loss in Hanover was still a bitter one in the minds of returning 'Cliffe veterans. One of them, co-captain Carlene Rhodes, turned in a sparkling performance. The goalie, who in the words of teammate Diana Finch "always stands out," kept Radcliffe in the tense affair with superb netminding...
