...after Hinckley asked for a lawyer, and again in July, when guards seized Hinckley's diaries from his cell. The illegally obtained evidence, Parker ruled, cannot be used to prove Hinckley guilty of the March shooting, the particulars of which the defense has already admitted. But Parker left unclear whether he would allow the evidence to be used to buttress the prosecution's contention that Hinckley was sane at the time of the shooting. His trial is scheduled to begin...
...Democrats take the rule changes seriously--and the reams of paper and the hours of testimony indicate that they do--they are unclear about what exactly it is they hope to accomplish. Preliminary position papers from advisory committee members range from the view that "the primary business of the Democratic Party should be nominating a presidential candidate and winning the presidency," to one advocating a presidential nominating process which would "exclude no important party constituency and maximize popular participation by Democrats in the selection of their party's nominee...
...ended up much the same way. Those candidates affiliated with the Charles River Railway captured seats from all but wards two and three, and Alderman Chapman, the lone dissenter on the vote to grant C.R.R. the extension permit lost his chair.

Many observers thought Wylie would disappear in 1979; instead, Mary Ellen Preusser went down the tubes. Preusser began her reelection campaign many months ago, but it is unclear how successful she has been. Though she has mounted a visible effort, especially in West Cambridge and in politically unpredictable Cambridgeport, Preusser has been hurt by two factors: her biggest issue, university expansion, was largely settled last summer when the city council finally adopted zoning laws to restrict the growth of tax-exempt institutions. And the plethora of women candidates will fragment the feminist vote...
