...Cambridge City Council, with the aid of a home-rule petition in the state legislature, adopted a strict rent control ordinance in 1971. Median household rents skyrocketed by 70 per cent during the '60s, and the ever accelerating stream of students and young professionals moving into Cambridge indicated there was little chance of future relief. The city's rules exempted only owner-occupied dwellings with less than four rental units, federal- and state-subsidized housing, and all housing built after 1968.

But gas producers remain reluctant to press ahead with rapid development of new fields. If these fields were brought on-stream now, they would be subject to price control. If the producers wait, they reason, controls may be relaxed-and prices are bound to be substantially higher...
...charge the real villain, the expense account meal. If so, Carter's instincts were true. Bernard De Voto, writing eloquently back in 1951 about the glories of the martini, explained: "The martini is a city dweller, a metropolitan. It is not to be drunk beside a mountain stream or anywhere else in the wilds . . ." Like Plains...
