He went to Northampton in 1917 from an English professorship at Harvard, where his tall German wife Elizabeth had been snubbed by War-minded faculty wives. Stanchly liberal, Dr. Neilson defended Sacco & Vanzetti, early advocated the recognition of Russia, invited such figures as Bertrand Russell and Harold Laski to speak at Smith...

Probably since the case of Sacco and Vanzetti, or at least since Jessic Costello cleaned her boiler, Boston has never had such a good time in its traditional macabre manner. But the current scavenger hunt for the missing "mutilated torso" has them all beat for journalistic interest.
