...Cambridge votes. Though as mayor Haves began the first real move to get the universities to ease Cambridge housing shortages, he became the local point of the rent control bitterness, probably because rent control backers felt his vote was the one they could swing. This combined with his prominent role in the City Manager struggle of 1965-68, has made Hayes a controversial figure.

...refreshing albeit vicious, rationality that has proven too much for even quirks of fate to overcome. I've been abused, it is true, but now I've rebounded and I'm twisting again. Yet I must retain an appealing humility, and I must remember Captain Crunch's important role in the grand scheme of these things. As Moses led the Jews out of the darkness of Egypt, so Captain Crunch led me to my present state of football enlightenment...
