Driving through Somerville and then onto Interstate 95, you may notice two or three big billboard signs. They are plain white with blue print and read: "Don't get left behind.

Early on, he earned the reputation of being a solo act, alienating even his colleagues in the civil rights movement. He prefers ad hoc decision making to planning, and leaves subordinates behind to tie up, or frequently not to tie up, loose ends...
