...Patience. The wave of protests in the U.S.S.R. also encourages rebellion in fellow Communist nations of Eastern Europe. Doubtless encouraged by Solzhenitsyn, Polish writers at their recent congress passed a resolution demanding that the censors fully explain every deletion in the future. Earlier this month, delegates to the Czechoslovak Writers' Union Congress were so stormy in their demands that the Politburo member assigned as the writers' watchdog, Jiři Hendrych, rose and sputtered: "I have finally reached the end of my patience with you people."

Though Edward Logue, the city's famed urban renewal director, will most likely be the favored candidate of the outgoing Collins administration and the city's business community, School Committee Member Mrs. Louise Day Hicks, a longtime foe of enforced school integration, will almost certainly cull some white votes as a result of the Blue Hill eruption, and has at least...
