A great report by my Boston Herald colleague Christine McConville from the tents of Occupy Boston.
As I headed to my tent at 3 a.m., I noticed a number of homeless people had joined the camp. They looked delighted to have the new donated pillows and blankets, but they didn’t appear to support the strict no-drugs, no-alcohol policy.
Later, I was woken by the sound of a man hurling violently outside my tent. I remembered all that talk about the big-city rats.
The revolution stopped being much fun. I was never so glad to see dawn break over Southie.
"The truth is something [Warren] probably prefers not to confront. Harvard doesn’t come calling just because you’re a smart lawyer and a terrific teacher — not with Warren’s modest, Oklahoma upbringing and non-Ivy League education. She is not your typical Harvard professor. At a certain point, when the law school was under pressure to promote diversity, she represented a three-fer: a great lawyer with a national profile, a woman, and a minority, at least by virtue of family lore.
