NEIGHBORING TOWN’S BIZ PLANS COMPARED TO AUBURN BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER If the town is not careful in planning new business growth, one local resident believes, ugly cookie-cutter buildings could ruin its rural charm. One need only look at Auburn’s fast food joints and chain restaurants, according to Cemetery Road resident Armand Bessette, to see what Charlton’s section of Route 20 could look like in the future. “There’s no rhyme or reason to it,” Bessette said during a May 22 telephone interview, describing it as “homogenized.” With Farmington, Conn.-based Konover Associates planning a new retail-shopping complex on Route 20 — it is the subject of an ongoing public hearing — Bessette is propos- ing a new committee be formed that would help keep the town’s “typical old New England” character. Lowe’s Improvement Center will anchor the complex that is said to be attracting a bank, movie theater and supermarket. The group, he said, would work with the firm to assemble a development package that would reflect the treasured feeling. The new plan, he said, would boost property values, attract more people to the stores, and put more tax revenue into the towns coffers. Konover working with the group, Bessette said, would boost their reputation as a firm receptive to residents concerns. It would also implement the town’s master plan, he said. “My feeling and my problem is that, right now, we’ve got a golden opportunity to lay Turn To DEVELOPMENT, page A12 Something nice back home… STRIKE A POSE Courtesy photos U.S. Army Cpl.

  • A Man for All Reasons: David Brudnoy Was a Real Compassionate Conservative by HARVEY A
    A man for all reasons: David Brudnoy was a real compassionate conservative BY HARVEY A. SILVERGLATE DAVID BRUDNOY’S untimely death, on December 9, spurred a massive number of public reminiscences by friends, acquaintances, listeners, and just about everyone who ever crossed his path. The talk-show host, author, columnist, movie critic, teacher, and man about town was the perfect everything, each seemed to say. He did so many things well, in so many different spheres, and yet remained so human, with a special talent for humor and friendship. It was also often said that Brudnoy, "even though a conservative," was beloved and respected by the rich and poor, the well-educated and barely educated, the white-collar and blue-collar alike. MEETING OF MINDS: the author, right, with long-time friend David Brudnoy, It’s true that Brudnoy’s anomalous political philosophy who could connect as readily with liberals as with fellow conservatives. deviated considerably from both liberal and conservative dogma. His support of gay marriage and his opposition to obscenity laws separated him from many conservatives, while his criticisms of the "nanny state" conflicted with liberal doctrine. (He laughed appreciatively whenever I, a devoted liberal civil libertarian, reminded him of Barney Frank’s pungent observation that some conservatives believe that life begins at conception and ends at birth.) Indeed, a month before his death, he and I agreed to do a series of joint columns for the Boston Phoenix taking aim at the current-day idiocies that pollute both conservative and liberal political life. Yet the common view of Brudnoy is that liberals and conservatives managed to tolerate him despite his politics, by virtue of his magnetic and endearing personal qualities.

We have been faced with the threat of two proposed off-shore liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals; the election of a new governor, whom many hope will get us back on track to a greener future, and the rising crisis of global warming. Nahant’s Safer Waters in Massachusetts (“SWIM”), an environmental-awareness group established in 1984, happily has not kept quiet. Thanks to a team effort, guided by the leadership of Polly Bradley and Margaret Hinrichs, we have voiced opposition to the The Nahant Daisy troop went caroling at the dangerous LNG terminal proposals, advocated for a regional energy plan to Deval Jesmond Nursing home.

  • The Political Process
    Institute of Politics John F.Kennedy School of Government Harvard University PROCEEDINGS Institute of Politics 1977-78 1978-79 John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University FOREWORD The Ten-Year Report, issued in the Spring of 1977, was a handy—even heroic—record of the programs and individuals of the Institute of Politics' first decade. Shortly thereafter, plans were made for publication of an annual retrospective, promising a more regular and expressive review of Institute life. Rather than just listing names and events, the new publication would also include selected excerpts from Institute speeches and panels, articles and books, formal reports and personal evaluations—the various stirrings of mind and spirit which a simple inventory of activity inadequately represents. Here is the first edition of Proceedings of the Institute of Politics, which covers the two academic years since its ten-year anniversary (the second of which signalled the Institute's relocation into the new John F. Kennedy School of Government building). Part One, Readings, is a sampling of analytical and personal statement, with zesty accounts of the workings of politics, impassioned or studied plans for political action, hearty exchanges over the role of the press, anxious searches for political direction—conclud­ ing with somewhat more intimate insights into Institute life. All pieces appear in excerpted form. Part Two, Programs, is a detailed listing of the various ac­ tivities, people, and products which comprise the past two years of Institute effort. Taken with the preceding Ten-Year Report and the annual editions to follow. Proceedings presents an ongoing portrait of the Institute of Politics.
