...city, there would be a lot of yelling and screaming over White's refusal to debate Timilty on television. But in Boston, only Timilty is yelling--and not loud enough. White has even refused to appear on the same platform as his challenger. "What we don't want are joint appearance which are going to use the mayor's prestige to bring Joe Timilty publicity," says Stephen Crosby, the mayor's campaign manager.

What would force the committee to meet? Bok suggests that if "we wanted to make some substantial change in Radcliffe buildings," he would call a meeting of the Joint Policy Committee.
