...third highrise will loom on Boylston St., midway between the Kennedy Center and the center of the Square. Soil engineers, contracted by Cambridge landlord Max Wasserman, are testing the peat and clay subsoil to determine what size structure the ground can economically support. The land is zoned for both office space and housing; given the relative surplus of office space in the Boston area, the choice will probably be housing...
Chairman Andrews, fearing a possible outbreak of violence, arranged midway through the three-day convention for Wallace to again declare his noncandidacy via a telephone hookup to his bedside in the Spain Rehabilitation Center in Birmingham.
