...chosen in a nation-wide search to become Cambridge City Manager, James L. Sullivan, will probably appear in his official capacity for the first time at Monday's meeting. Sullivan took office at a council session last June 27, ending a six-month talent hunt for a new Manager...
Dubbed the "talent candidates" for their nonpolitical achievements, they campaigned on simplistic clean-up platforms and brought mass-media familiarity to the voters. Two, in fact, were popular television funnymen: Yukio Aoshima, 35, who plays a meddling grandmother on a weekly situation comedy, and Nokku Yokoyama, 36, member of a slapstick comedy team.

...business exodus has resulted in a dearth of management talent, and West Berlin has had trouble attracting both research laboratories and growth industries. Significantly, neither computers nor autos are manufactured in the city. Not the least of the obstacles to economic expansion is a critical shortage of workers. West Berlin's labor problem became acute when the Ulbricht government put up the Wall in 1961, thus depriving the city's Western sector of its 60,000 East German workers. Native labor, meanwhile, is difficult to keep at home, since the average hourly wage ($1.25) runs some 10% below...
