THE BOSTON POGROM
A pogrom is a term used from Russian history to describe a violent riot against Jews. Pogroms are the reasons why many Jews left Russia and
East Europe and came to America.
Boston, too, has had at least one pogrom.
It began some time in the late nineteen sixties and went on until virtually all the Jews left a part of the city, in what was euphemistically called a "changing neighborhood." Dorchester, Roxbury and Mattapan changed from Jewish to African American. It wasn’t peaceful change. It was a violent and disgraceful episode in history and nobody talks about it today.

THE CONSERVATISM OF COMFORT: UNDERSTANDING THE BUCKLEY LEGACY
If there is any doubt that the old adage "Labels are for jars' is true, the example of the late William F Buckley, Jr. resolves the question.
Mr. Buckley’s name has become synonymous with the "conservative" label. But most of the record he left behind indicates that his politics were more eclectic than anything else. It is also observed that ‘conservative" now means so many different things to different people that perhaps the label is now obsolete.
