After the raucous 1950's the quiet business-like administration offered by John Volpe was attractive to the Massachusetts electorate, but the voters should be wary of keeping such a man in office for four more years. Massachusetts can no longer neglect her obligations in education, justice, and administrative and constitutional reform. The interference of Peter Volpe, the governor's brother, in the selection of architects at the University of Massachusetts and the re-examination of the Inner Belt indicate perhaps the Commonwealth's government is being conducted on principles actually too close to those of the business world...
...hero battling against insuperable odds. This particular fancy gained a wide audience when Frost went to England in 1912 and published two collections of poems. It was Ezra Pound who, in his review of A Boy's Will, launched the poet and the myth by singling out In Neglect, a five-line verse that begins, "They leave us so to the way we took."

It is not being reported for simple souls who would like to know...
Indeed, driving across the country this fall, a foreigner might conclude that the U.S. has a no-party system. In state after state, signs blazon forth the candidates' names, faces and slogans, but, often as not, neglect to mention, or note only in microscopic type, whether they are Democrats or Republicans (see billboards). "Whatever your party -he is your man," proclaim the posters of Iowa's John Kyi. "Vote Volpe-he does what he says" is the message in Massachusetts; "Milton Shapp, a man you can trust!" in Pennsylvania; "Sparkman best for Alabama" in the Yellowhammer state. Even...
