A bar room conversation yesterday about the fall of the Berlin wall got me thinking about historic events. I was wondering how often we come across stories of that magnitude in the news. Well, there’s a good candidate on the Globe website today.

The Globe ran two stories today about the fight over the Blessed Sacrament church in Jamaica Plain (complete with quotes from current and former coworkers of mine.) The situation is this: due to church scandals, the archdiocese of Boston has closed several parishes and is selling the land. The fight is over what [...]

For those interested in the problems with and solutions for the current public school system, I would like to point you towards this blog that I came across last week.
