...votes. He knew a teacher had been attacked in Hyde Park High School before School Superintendent Marion Fahey did. The workers at Dorchester District Court sent him an anonymous letter alleging improprieties that made the presiding judge call O'Neil nervously to explain. He claims to know every Boston cop by his first or last name, which is how he discovered that 14 city tow trucks bought, insured and registered over two years ago have never been used. He brags, "I got a dossier on every son of a bitch in this city...

A stilted sort of friendship develops between Michel and the police commissioner, but the clockmaker breaks it off abruptly, unable to stomach the cop's complacent cynicism about the toadies who do the French bureaucracy's dirty work.

The other wanted to know where he could...
Preceded by two headlights, a funnel of dust announces the arrival of Bill Eldridge, a former Fort Pierce cop who helped write Stewart's first album, You 're Not the Woman You Used to Be. Eldridge has come to escort his friend, now somewhat lulled by the grease and beer, to the evening's performance. It is a Tuesday night, normally a slow evening, but the Flying Bridge Lounge is packed with a country crowd ready to greet the local boy with rebel yells. Men cradle sweating bottles of Pabst against their paunches and admire...
