From the Paper
"Boston is one of America's oldest and most historic cities. It is the capital and the most populous city of Massachusetts, one of the thirteen first states of the United States of America. However, Boston's history stretches back even farther than the existence of the American union. It was founded on November 17, 1630 by Puritans, and the city in its oldest cobblestone and brick quarters still retains much of its distinct Puritan look in its architecture and design ("Boston, Massachusetts: City History," CityLights, 2008). Some wits might also say that it does so in some of its attitudes, such as the fact that Boston's public transportation system the 'T' closes shortly after midnight, while New York City's subways runs all night!"

From the Paper
"On September 9, 1919, on a quiet Tuesday afternoon at approximately 5:45 P.M., the thin blue line of the Boston Police Department vanished. The line, which kept the veneer of civilization from coming unglued, leaving society at the mercy of its base instincts, proved to be all that it had long been suspected of being. Man reverted to a state of chaos quickly when the watchers' eyes were dimmed. 1,117 of Boston's finest walked out, abrogating their obligations and leaving the city at the mercy of societal dregs.
