...were tryouts for Dancehall Queen II. The latest of these dances has been the “Dutty Wine,” popularized by Tony Matterhorn’s hit of the same name. The video is straightforward: the opening scene sets the action at Montego Bay, Jamaica, 10:05, any given night. Tony Matterhorn and a selector (what Americans would call a DJ) are the only two men in a club otherwise filled with women. The women do the dutty wine, then have a dutty wine competition. None of the dancing in the video is particularly impressive, and much...
Lately, I’ve found myself having to explain that I don’t work for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)—the public corporation that runs Greater Boston’s T—far more often than usual. I don’t imagine that it’s my appearance that leads so many Bostonians to suspect this employment.

The name refers to the floods that have plagued people along its banks for millennia, but it has resonated painfully in recent years as the river has fallen victim to excessive damming, frequent pollution and misguided diversion schemes...
This is no less true in Massachusetts than other states. But if Bay State voters are tired of voting for a Democrat or Republican, or if they feel that the candidates in a particular year do not particularly match their own views, then they are left with a dismal decision: a Democrat or Republican that they moderately support, or a third-party candidate whom they enthusiastically support but who does not stand a chance of being elected. And if they do opt to vote symbolically for the third party, there is a chance that doing so will help elect their...
