...raft of new ideas either. He stands on the goals he has already set, acknowledges that the city still has vast problems that cannot be solved with its own resources, admits his mistakes and says that he has learned from them. Yet, quite apart from style, personality and particular issues, there is a fundamental difference among the candidates. Marchi thinks that the mayor's office has too much power, that authority should be spread more evenly among the branches of city government. Procaccino takes a traditional view that the mayor should be more of an umpire among competing interests than...

I must confess being a little uneasy about the form of the Moratorium because it involves a suspension of the educational process...
...Holy Cross fans like a particular kind of football-good, crisp football. The crowd on the far side rose to its feet after defensive back Mike Jordan collided with big Pete Varney, causing Pistol Pete to get up a little slowly. It was the play of the day. Of course, Varney wasn't hurting very long, but the fact that any back could hit Varney with such results is surprising...
