The court's ruling­ stemming from Brown's use of illegai clauses in tenant leases-is expected to cost the principal owner of Hamilton Realty well over $100,000 in damages and attorneys fees. In the decision, the court said that Brown is liable for damages because he included several illegal clauses in his leases during 1980. The novelty of it, according to tenant lawyer Harvey S.

  • Tale of Two Mayors
    Race Relations in Boston: a Tale of Two Mayors, Raymond L. Flynn and Thomas M. Menino Ronda Jackson and Christopher Winship The Stuart Incident On October 23, 1989, Charles Stuart, a white, 30-year-old furrier, living in suburban Reading, Massachusetts, made a desperate 9-1-1 call to the Boston Police dispatcher. He reported that he had been shot. His wife, Carol Stuart, a lawyer, seven-months pregnant at the time, had also been shot, and was in the passenger’s seat next to him bleeding and unconscious. Though frightened and in shock, Stuart was able to provide some details of the crime. He told the dispatcher that he and his wife had just left a birthing class at a nearby hospital and gotten into their car parked near the Mission Hill housing project when a young black man in a hooded sweatshirt robbed and shot them both. The dispatcher stayed on the line with Stuart while police cruisers in the area found the Stuarts’ car and the two wounded victims.1 The Stuarts were rushed back to the same hospital where they had attended Lamaze class. Doctors performed an emergency c-section on Carol to remove the baby and, hopefully, save her life. Baby Christopher was put in the intensive care unit, but died 17 days later. Carol Stuart died six hours after the surgery. After giving police his account of the events, Charles Stuart was rushed into emergency surgery. He survived the surgery, but then went into a coma for several weeks after the shooting.2 Mayor Raymond Flynn and Police Commissioner Mickey Roache were immediately told of the shootings.

Hennigan, Jr., a Suffolk University Law School alumnus (JD 1958), Massachusetts state representative (1953-1954), state senator (1955-1964), and Boston School Committee member (1970-1974), discusses the impact of the 1974 Garrity decision, which required some students to be bused between Boston neighborhoods with the intention of creating racial balance in the public schools. Mr. Hennigan reflects on the issue of busing in the Boston Public School system, recalling the Boston School Committee’s work in the years prior to the Garrity decision and the roles which various politicians and city leaders played in the debate. He reminisces about Boston’s great politicians. Additionally, he recalls his memories of Joe Moakley’s successful run as an Independent candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1972.

An estimated 25-30 bands are expected for this year's third annual parade. "We've got far more quality this year-it's going to be bigger and bet­ ter," he says proudly. The event-filled weekend kicks off Saturday with a cattle fair~ sponsored by the Brighton Congregational Church with assistance from the Brighton Board of Trade. In past years the BBOT hasheld fairs the day before the parade, but "some mer­ chants have felt the street fair was ~ounterproductive to business," ex­ plains president Frank Moy. "We wanted to do a family fair outside Brighton Center in [late] September, but the cost of liability insur­ ance .. ,made it not in our best in­ terest to do so." Instead, the BBOT has provided banners for the fair and will sell large, colorful posters of Allston-Brighton, with the proceeds going to benefit the Church's 160th anniversary next year.
