...reciprocated. Then, as Atkins, in an unnecessarily formal fashion was introducing "The Honorable..." Brown broke in with a more fitting lead in: "When I got into town White called me up and believe me this man is 'Together.' So let's hear it for Swingin Kev." With that the mavor bopped up onto the podium and shook hands with Brown. Saying that he had come "like everyone else to hear James." (which wasn't entirely true since he ran back to City Hall immediately following his address). White recalled the death of King only hours before and asked the people...

In practice, its major job has been the endorsement of candidates for the School Committee and the City Council in the biannual municipal elections...
...Crane-DeGuglielmo feud has been a hard one for the CCA to handle. DeGuglielmo, a former city councillor mavor, and prominent Democrat, carefully planned political coup early in 1966 which, after a furious fight on the floor of the City Council, ended in a 5-4 vote to make him city manager. The dismissed manager of 14 years, John Curry, was a close friend of Crane and had leaned heavily on the advice of the four-time mayor...
