The American Conservative » How Whitey Bulger Bought Boston:
"With the rope tight enough to terrify the victim without rendering her unconscious, the assailants turned off the grinder and began asking the terrified woman about her work as a cashier at the Miami “fronton” (or arena) of World Jai Alai, an exotic Iberian sport that had been controlled by Bostonians since the 1920s. A few months earlier, World Jai Alai had been sold to a new owner, and Boston’s Winter Hill mob—led by James “Whitey” Bulger—wanted to know if the new owners had discovered the mob’s skimming operation."

John Harrigan: Dead cougar and mystery on I-93 | New Hampshire OPINION02:
"In 2004, right after the first weekend of muzzleloading season, he left a friend's hunting camp in Pittsburg, stopped to check his own vacation place in Bethlehem, and was heading down the pike when he came upon a police cruiser and a dead animal at the New Hampton town line. The car was pulled off into the dirt. The animal was stretched across the breakdown and travel lanes. “I instantly realized that it was a cougar,” Paul said."

Power plants work to block Northern Pass | Hartford Business
Power plants work to block Northern Pass | Hartford Business:
"Rappaport proposed legislation that would have prevented utility companies from using eminent domain when installing non-reliability-based transmission lines, such as the Northern Pass project. That legislation passed the New Hampshire House of Representatives but was tabled by the state Senate. Still, Rappaport is working on four more bills that would block Northern Pass in New Hampshire.
While Rappaport’s base is residents concerned about having a transmission line ruin their views and their property values, he’s also received support from various power plants that oppose Northern Pass. The state’s four biomass plants in Bethlehem, Tamworth, Alexandria and Bridgeport, which employ 120 total workers, worked to pass Rappaport’s legislation."

Judges said to be skeptical of mandate in healthcare law - The Hill's Healthwatch:
"Harned added that the judges seemed very knowledgeable about the law - particularly the fact that the mandate seeks to get everyone to pay their fair share for healthcare that hospitals are required by law to provide to people without insurance.
'I think they understand that the mandate is a correction to problems that Congress created,' Harned told The Hill."

"Lyndon Baines Johnson's Great Society experiment is in full bloom and it is downright ugly. LBJ's attempt to coddle the lower classes with free money for going fatherless and even more money for mother's having more children, without husbands around, has perhaps reached the third generation of such fatherless, uncontrollable youth. The experiment has resulted in roaming bands of criminals."

Mitt Romney should have run for another term as governor in Mass. It was a more natural fit.
