...have correctly diagnosed the surface political struggle in Cambridge as a conflict between the Cambridge Civic Association and the old guard politicians of pre-reform days.

For three hours every morning, an hour and a half before afternoon practice and two hours afterward, he and his assistants lay plans for the next game. Key decisions are often settled by a staff vote...
