THAT bit of advertising copy took up less than one-eighth of a page in the Sunday New York Times. But by 7:30 Monday morning, people were falling into line for a show so long awaited and so much talked about that advertising was almost superfluous. By noon, the line stretched along 51st Street, turned the corner at shuttered Lindy's onto Broadway, headed uptown, rounded the corner again and began backing up into 52nd Street.

Like most tracking systems (Washington, D.C. among other cities has one) this hurts the poor. In addition the quality of Cambridge schools varies greatly depending on what area they are in. Upper city school libraries have eight books per student while lower city schools have...
