Democrats swept the Princeton Borough and Princeton Township municipal elections Tuesday night in the Princetons’ first fully contested vote since 2005.

Last Friday, November 2, the Day of the Dead, which is the day in 1938 when the events in Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano take place, I checked to see if a copy was available at the Princeton Public Library and learned, to my surprise, that the only version of this 20th-century classic in the catalogue is in the form of a 2-disk Criterion DVD of the 1984 film directed by John Huston. I was also unable to find either of the biograpies of Lowry, who died 50 years ago, June 27, 1957.

He was the first in his family to go to college, graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Rutgers; he worked on the General Motors assembly line in Edison; he built a radio, took apart a TV, and repaired a radar set in the army. He stage-managed, directed, and appeared in numerous amateur drama productions; he taught seventh and eighth grade math; he was Communications Director of the New Jersey Education Association, and operated his own public relations firm; for 19 years he served on Princeton Borough Council, more than 13 of which as mayor.
