Voters of Cambridge, Mass., decisively rejected a proposed anti-pornography ordinance. Election officials gave final returns as 13,031 ballots against the measure and 9,419 for it, but they said 1,931 of the 24,381 people who voted in the election skipped the pornography question on the ballot. The ordinance would have allowed women who considered themselves victims of pornography to sue and collect damages from makers and distributors of sexually explicit materials.
