...Bill Bates approach." Bates, the district's last Congressman, proposed to cater to the individual needs of every voter. Saltonstall called this the "people-to-people approach." It meant promising special favors for the shoe, fishing, leather, and electronics industries that make up the economy of the North Shore. Such a strategy unwittingly wrote off the growing proportion of commuters who depend on jobs in Boston and not in the district. For these people, Saltonstall's appeal was not sufficiently broad...
Harrington found surprising support in Republican strongholds along the North Shore. This area was expected to produce big for his opponent.

A candidate of the left must not only "speak out" but simultaneously play up his outspokenness in speaking out. It must appear that he is risking unpopularity (just a little) with his honest views. Certain Harrington slogans, with their attempts at negative definitions, illustrate this point well: "He's some other kind of politician" or "If you like the way things are going, don't vote...

...October 4th march did not emphasize the role of Harvard in these arrests. One Harvard patrol car covertly followed us for three hours, while other cops tore down the posters (and later brought them to court as evidence against us.) We went all the way to Medford and North Cambridge-and so did the University police. After they had watched us put up several posters on Church St., we were surrounded in front of Claverly Hall by eight Harvard police and eight Cambridge cops in four squad cars called in by Harvard to arrest us. At first they refused...
