Still, if this oversize volume cannot be considered the last word in Boston's struggle with the law, it can be appraised as a model of thoroughness and balance. Lukas well knows Emerson's dictum that there is properly no history, only biography. When Colin Diver chases a mugger who battered a black woman outside his front door, when Alice McGoff debates with herself whether she can respect a Catholic priest who is a "pro-buser," when Rachel Twymon's sister hears rocks smash through her windows night after night, the story is larger than three families, and larger than...

Surprise, surprise Frankie's boyfriend Nick (Paul Mones) was the foiled mugger, and after recognizing Morgan at school as the law-abiding. Knight-in-Shining-Armor, he orders his remarkably violent gang to trash Morgan's bike. Further surprise--Morgan is captivated by Frankie, even though she is taunting him right beside her boyfriend, and his bike is lying in ruins...
