BOSTON – In a region with a pronounced progressive tilt, some television watchers may be surprised to stumble upon a local television show that exists expressly to air discussion about unborn children.
But that is exactly what Brendan O'Connell, 61, has produced for nearly 13 years in Boston. As the show's host, he has interviewed guests ranging from Jennifer Lahl, the president of the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network in California, to former Boston Mayor Ray Flynn, a Democrat, and then-Speaker Tom Finneran, a Boston Democrat who led the Massachusetts House of Representatives, according to the show's website.
BOSTON – For Becky Guerra, committing to build a new school in the inner city meant moving there, too. So she and her husband, Frank, then a teacher at Roxbury Latin, upped stakes and moved to Jamaica Plain from their home of 15 years in Arlington.
"I didn't want to be coming into the city from the suburbs," Becky said about their decision back in 2000. "Didn't feel right – didn't sit right to go try to build a school that serves people from the city and we're going home to the suburbs every night."
