...million American aid-to-Greece program is failing. If you sit around Athens, close your eyes to everything but the abundant food in de luxe restaurants, watch new American cars roll down the streets, look into shop windows filled with American canned goods, Italian woolens and Swiss watches, you can pretend it is not failing. But once you get outside Athens, you realize that the situation is the worst it has been since October 1944 when the Germans left. The Greek Government, the high command, the Army and the people are carrying out a sort of mass psychological "sitdown strike...

Stripped of the party roll calls and political scaffolding that greet each election, this November 4th approaches as a disorganized but crucial ballot for Cambridge's city government and school system. The elections to decide the future City Council and School Board have been campaigned on the basis of individual preference rather than party affiliation.
