Kerrigan had always lacked the veneer of civilization that Hicks wore, never refraining from publicly using offensive racial slurs or admitting he exploited patronage opportunities. After the media and the investigative Boston Finance Commission pilloried him last spring over his no-show staff worker, Kerrigan also exceeded the city's level of tolerance. Palladino is the easiest case to explain. She first rode the anti-busing wave into office in 1975 and is now stranded in the low tide of voter disgust...

...Revolutionary War in The Unvanquished and Citizen Tom Paine, Reconstruction in Freedom Road. As a political activist of the far left, he spent three months in jail during 1950 for failing to comply with a House Un-American Activities Committee subpoena. He was a columnist for the Daily Worker, a 1952 American Labor Party candidate for Congress, a 1953 winner of a Stalin Peace Prize and the most popular American author in the U.S.S.R.
