...mayor also serves as the chairman of the School Committee, which is divided three to three between independents and members of the Cambridge Convention slate. It is still unclear as to what the committee's major issues and voting coalitions will be and so the impact of Danehy, Roman Hruska's ideological twin, remains uncertain...
...Roman Catholic bastions of Bavaria, the riotous midwinter weeks of Fasching (from the German phrase "to pour from a barrel") serve roughly the same functions as carnival elsewhere in the Christian world. It is a season of merrymaking, mischiefing and fair-maidening begun by medieval Catholics who wanted to say a hearty "farewell to the flesh" (carne vale) before starting the Lenten regimen of fasting and penance on Ash Wednesday.

Romantic renderings of the Dodge Coronet or Apache Eagle camper that a lucky giver might win in return for his contribution flavored compassion with a dash of greed. And why not? The Roman Catholic Pallottine Fathers, an international order founded in Italy in 1835, support 2,200 priests and brothers in 26 countries. Its U.S. fund raisers were tired of pleading for nickels and dimes, year after year. By applying hard-sell money-raising means to the world of charity they could swiftly...
