...Newton-based construction corporation will this spring begin construction on a building housing 90 luxury condominiums on the 25,000 sq. ft. lot across from Quincy House. Due to the housing crunch in the Square, the spacious condos will probably cost upwards of $4000 a month to rent when they are completed in about a year...

After all, the extirpation of parasites is a public service. Once you have decided, as did Ayatullah Khomeini, to redeem the Islamic world from idolatry, and once you believe, as he does, that martyrdom is the quickest way to the joys of paradise, then...
