...Eliot St. bridges. Last year nearly 100,000 people viewed the environmental art, sampled the ethnic food, or just listened to the music on the festival's final day, and Molly Miller, publicity director for the Cambridge Arts Council, which sponsors and organizes the festival, predicts a similar turnout this year. "Our goal is to improve the quality of life in the whole city," she explains. "There'll be one artist to every 100 Cambridge residents...

There are fears of a repeat of 1971-72, when similar incentives from the Conservative government of Edward Heath merely produced property speculation, a record low in productive investment and an inflationary consumer boom. The Tories have claimed they will provide some of the money by allowing private investment in state-run industries--but this ignores the fact that most state enterprises were...
