Though the split between pro and anti-DeGuglielmo coalitions has a sizable quotient of personality clashes behind it, the differences between those who would be willing to hire a manager from outside the City, and those who would fight such a move is rooted in the diverse nature of Cambridge. The Italians, Portuguese, and blacks who live in one and two family houses in East Cambridge, Cambridgepot, Riverside and other neighborhoods have little in common with the businessmen and academics who reside along pleasant Brattle Street...
...novel must make its way without reference to its gossip quotient, and Updike knows this better than anyone. "Jacques Maritain somewhere says that to write about evil a man needn't have done evil-only felt the evil within himself," Updike remarks. "If people want to make a different conclusion, fine. If the book has passion in it, it's my own. I would hope that at least I have the will to put things down the way they are, under the assumption that there's something beautiful about them in any case. I think a writer...

Last week the market fell and then rebounded in a swirl of contradictory reports that President Johnson was (or was not) planning to call for wartime...
Manhattan's sidewalk spectators are getting to be fairly ho-hum about movies shot on location, but this one was a real buzzer. Star of the film was Mia Farrow, 22, whose mob quotient has gone up considerably since she married Whosis, and furthermore didn't she seem to be-giggle blush-just a teensy bit preggers? Yes she did, and in no mood to dillydally about it, either. One day she was barely bulgy, the next she seemed six months along, and within a week she was 14 months pregnant. By this time even the most motherly...
