...approaching gubernatorial election will offer an important test of alleged conservative strength. Former Major General Edwin Walker will fail decisively in his bid for the Democratic nomination and if he runs in the general election will lose that one also. He is a poor candidate who expounds an unproven political ideology. He will attack the Kennedy Administration at a time when the president's popularity is extremely high; he will run on foreign issues in a domestic race, and his notoriety has been more to his disfavor than to his credit.

Massachusetts cities derive the power of eminent domain from the commonwealth; as a State agency, the MTA derives every one of its powers from the same source.

At the moment, perhaps, nothing can be done; the departure for England of a Chairman who expects to resume his post next fall has left the Department in limbo. Yet the announcement restricting tutorial, while it is not a central issue, has fallen on this community with unusual force. Perhaps it can help to persuade the Faculty that the Gill program and the tutorial system...
