...proprietor, a proud man dressed in black, with high boots, says resolutely: "We are all liberals here. That's why we fought the Germans. When they burned out villages and killed our families, we dressed in black for mourning--but we kept fighting...
...Hicks on the other hand stands for Boston isolationism and the desperate politics of alienation. Her final campaign ad this week answered her critics with the empty, emotional, defensive tautology, "I am proud of Boston and all its citizens."
