...Councillors most vehement about Walsh's removal are those who, unlike Walsh, favor Cambridge's system of rent control. We at Dartboard wonder if Walsh and his opponents are really so far apart. Walsh used a realestate scheme to line his pockets at a bank's expense, his opponents used an equally odious scheme to line their constituents' pockets at landowners' expense.

Beginning in September, we each woke from our peaceful slumber at a quarter 'till nine and counted 134 chimes of the bell before returning to a rather fitful sleep. Unfortunately the winds have changed, and our days of sleeping in have come to a close...
