Near the corner of Main and Walnut streets in the small town of Maynard, Mass., stands a massive complex of aged red-brick buildings. Within those walls, workers toiled amid clanging, churning machinery to produce carpets in the 1850s and Army blankets during two World Wars. But today the sturdy, old facade houses an entirely different enterprise.

Anninger, president of the Neighborhood 10 Association, a community group Community activists say University Place will be a "plus" because it will bring more residents into an area they fear is fast becoming too commercial...
...latest in a line of biographers to agree. His first of a planned two-volume study takes Churchill from birth in 1874 to 1932. This was the year after he quit politics over the question of self-rule for India and withdrew to Chartwell to write, paint, build brick walls and rumble warnings about an excitable Austrian named Adolf Hitler...
