...counters go about their work, candidates and their count-watchers peer in on them-sometimes intently, sometimes lackadaisically-from over the iron pipe railing which separates the counters from everybody else. Watching the ballots pile up and listening for announcements of precinct results, the candidates continually reappraise their situation. Witness Harvard Ed School student Francis X.

He says that this function is mediation, not advocacy. He is a diplomatic historian, cautious in his sentences, cradling a thin-stemmed pipe several seconds before answering any question. Small tie-knot, two-button grey suit and flat-top haircut: unobtrusive except that he seems to neigh when he smiles...
