Granted, Atkins was an incumbent, and what is less well known is that he frequently votes law-and-order. But his conservatism was not made an issue in his campaign, and he had, in fact, deliberately played up his sympathy with Roxbury in order to maximize his drawing power in the black community. Since the blacks account for only 15 per cent of Boston's electorate, they alone could not put him in office, and what is politically incredible is the support he found in lily-white precincts where Hicks coasted to victory.

...word spread. Dozens of visitors sometimes attended discussion meetings in the austere study of the abbey known as "The Pit." More and more people started dropping in for a few hours or to stay for a few days.

Somehow Eiseley has absorbed all the New Information while retaining a pre-scientific sense...
...teacher, a coach. or just a friend, Getch is what you might call a "character." Surely, no one who has known him will ever forget him. As he prepared his 6-1 Yardlings for their last three games this week, he paused to say, "It's been a wonderful 14 years." Then his thoughts turned back to Princeton, Brown, and Yale...
