...estate interests win, then the 1983 election may come too late to save the city. Fortunately, there are candidates running pledged to support fundamental issues of economic and social justice. They include all members of the Cambridge Civic Association (CCA) slate--David Sullivan, Francis H. Duehay '55, David Wylie, Saundra Graham, Alice Wolf, Mary Ellen Preusser, Wendy Abt and Robert White.

And the absence of Severlin Singleton--a Black who picked up 547 votes in 1979--should also help Graham, who won more of his transfer votes than Thompson...
Councilor Saundra Graham added "all across the world huge numbers of people are coming out to protest nuclear arms. We've got to let the people rallying in Europe know that there is a movement in this country as well," she added...
