...delegation, which abstained from voting (but not from lobbying and talking) on the issue, promised to abstain in a realer sense when the commission decides between U.S. sites. The British want Boston (Irish population 40%), which gives it a lead over Philadelphia, Flushing Meadows, Newport, St. Louis and San Francisco.
