...soften under Clark. Watt's public remarks got in the way of gaining broad support for his policies. As one department official puts it: "He's a great fella, but why did he have to shoot his mouth off like that?"

...MORE THAN 15 years of major public service, Melvin H. King has been a steady force for change in Boston, a vocal and forceful advocate for the city's dispossessed, the city's tenants, and the city's workers. Today he is facing seven other candidates in a preliminary election that will determine which two compete for the city that Kevin H. White has ruled for 16 years...
