Hartman, who founded the Urban Field Service (UFS) in 1968, was eased out in 1970 by Isaacs, Nash and Vigier primarily because his staunch support of advocacy planning and his political militance against Harvard's housing policies in Cambridge ran counter to their view of what a planner's role in society should be.

Miss Crutchley's Catherine is determined and unyielding as she saves herself from what was becoming the almost inevitable trip to the Tower...
...path to the movement, in or out of communes, is often littered with drugs. The Way, an 18-year-old, offbeat and minor theological group now virtually taken over and greatly expanded by the Jesus People, has two staunch supporters in Wichita, Kans.: prominent Lawyer Dale Fair and his wife, who got involved when a Way evangelist helped their daughter off drugs. One of the San Francisco pioneers, Ted Wise, has been so successful with drug cures that he now has a new clinic in Menlo Park. Washington, D.C., movement leader Denny Flanders tells drug users: "You can use drugs...
