Last week, though, this system, which must elect a new city council in ten days, was threatened. A new group, calling itself the Concerned Cambridge Citizens (CCC) endorsed a slate of candidates for the office. What it didn't release were position papers or issue stances. We are "dedicated to dynamic government," they said, issuing calls for "intellectual open-mindedness." But they offered no position on rent control, no mention of condominium conversions. "We have no plans to issue a platform," Nancy Goetz, treasure of the CCC said last week...
...progressive forces in recent years has been the left's misplaced emphasis on electoral politics. In the midst of a Presidential campaign in which all three Democratic non-candidates have been wooing the left--more with images of idealism and hope than with tangible proposals or commitments--the left must be careful not to make the mistakes it has repeatedly made in the past which have cost us our influence on national policy.

Appealed by MORAL (the Massachusetts Organization for the Repeal of Abortion Laws), the bill is under injunction and pending review by the Federal District Court on the basis of a Supreme Court decision that all medically necessary services must be available to the poor. As of last May, hospitals are no longer required to perform abortions upon demand except in case of probable death to the mother. Legislation restricting abortions to hospitals with full obstetrical care (rather than women's health clinics), now before the Massachusetts House, could place...
