...inside the women's two-bedroom garden apartment, there was no talk of activism, of politics, of advancing a gay agenda -- only of somehow putting a family back together.

Somehow, those canny Cambridge traffic controllers never figured that turn arrows at intersections could save people a lot of aggravation. So you resign yourself to a slightly shorter ride in a continuous cloud of instant smog...
