	Foster Furcolo, 83, Governor, Legislator and Sometime Writer - New York Times
		Foster Furcolo, whose two two-year terms as Governor of Massachusetts highlighted a lifetime in politics, public service, legal practice, teaching and literary endeavors, died yesterday at Youville Hospital in his hometown, Cambridge, Mass.
		Furcolo (pronounced FER-ko-lo) was a middle-of-the-road Democrat who won the Statehouse in 1956 by overcoming a Republican tide that gave President Dwight D. Eisenhower, bound for re-election, a 450,000-vote margin in Massachusetts.
		Furcolo was indicted on charges of having conspired to arrange for a bribe to be paid to members of the Governor's Executive Council in 1960.
