...hope) attractively, we have devised the flap in the upper right-hand corner of this week's cover. Another new element is not a matter of design: the symbol in the lower left-hand corner is a universal product code that will help TIME'S distributors keep track by computer of their volume of sales...
...remains only marginally successful in handling its local affairs--such as its mixed success at the Paperback Book Smith and Schoenhof's Foreign Book Store-questions of its effectiveness with make the union an easy foil in future organizing campaigns. If, however, District 65 can develop a more effective track record, if it focuses more on real economic issues rather than simple idealism, Harvard may have a tough fight on its hands. Having shifted their efforts from the predictable atmosphere of the courtroom to the more uncertain electoral arena, Steiner and Co. can no longer plan on smooth legal sailing...

It is one of the few stretches of track on which you can tell the season by the color of the trees as well as the outergarments of the other passengers. The Green Line's cars are throwbacks to the days when streetcars ruled Boston's thoroughfares, and the swerving, stop-and-go trolley route to Arborway is one of the last true streetcar routes in town. The ride may be pure agony to the impatient, but the Arborway stop at the end of the line is just...
