...Cambridge. After feeding me plenty of Italian macaroni and meatballs, we began our ride by crisscrossing the streets of East Cambridge, Vellucci's home territory. He drives a Chevrolet himself, instead of using a chauffeured Cadillac which the City traditionally provides its mayors. As we drove around with WRKO playing softly in the background, Vellucci explained two differences between East Cambridge and Harvard Square. First, the East Cambridge neighborhood is tight-knit: it is not unusual for next-door neighbors to be blood relatives. Second, perhaps because of the close family units, the East Cambridge neighborhood is quiet, with...

...Beach and I climbed into the Yale Daily News office through an open window, found a telephone, and called anyone who might be interested in diseased Yalics. The AP. the UPI. the New Haven Register, WRKO. All the heavy weights. We were putting the massive hurt to New Haven. Both the AP and UPI were skeptical, and called back. We both posed as Yale staffers, confirmed the sad report, and told them that Brewster, the Yale president, had told us to have anyone call him at anytime to confirm the forfeit. This was our finest moment. AP fell...
