...incumbents running for re-election, all are favorites to win one of the nine positions; Flynn is a sure bet to top the ticket while Joe Tierney and Patrick McDonough may not finish in the top six. Aside from Flynn, who has reached out beyond his conservative South Boston base, and become a strong advocate for rent control and condominium conversion restrictions, none of the incumbents could be accused of a thoughtful or decisive discussion of any issues. They all rail against the mayor and demand more fire and police protection; with established names, if not reputations, that should...
Former committeeman John Tierney and Felix Arroyo have only outside chances. Tierney, who served in the 1960s, has a good political name (his brother was also on the school committee and is now Registrar of Deeds in Suffolk County) but has not distinguished himself in this campaign.

She rushes to finish many of her lines, as though by hurrying, she could hide that prepubescent tremulousness...
...Barbizon harbored the greatest concentration of beauty east of Hollywood. Its residents, paying as little as $12 a week for their pink-and-green, 9-ft. by 12-ft. cubicles, ran largely to aspiring models and actresses. Many ran far, among them Grace Kelly, Joan Crawford, Gene Tierney, Lauren Bacall, Barbara Bel Geddes, Dorothy McGuire, Liza Minnelli, Ali MacGraw, Candice Bergen, Cloris Leachman. Eileen Ford stabled her young models at the Barbizon. The Katharine Gibbs secretarial school reserved three floors for its students...
