EVER SINCE I made the mistake of going to see a Hasty Pudding Show, 12 Holyoke Street has been haunted for me-infested by a ghostly chorus line of clubbiesin-drag. The pool tables, leather armchairs, and antique posters survive. but that chorus line has been exorcised forever by Lindsay Crouse and the Cambridge Dance Company. Miss Crouse's production, Winter, General Clearance of Evils at the Beginning of is as ambitious as its title, and, almost incvitably, sometimes falls short of its goals.

Procaccino and Marchi not only divided the conservative vote; their generally pedestrian campaigns made Lindsay look good by comparison.

Capturing an estimated 80% of the black vote and managing to draw as many Jewish votes as did Procaccino, Lindsay won with just 41.8% of the total.
