NNTP-Posting-Host: archive.bbn.com


Good news for LGBpeople in Massachusetts.  The minority leader of the state
Senate, Repulican senator David Locke of Wellesley, an outspoken and crude
homophobe, went down to defeat, after leading Republican senators for
decades on Beacon Hill.  A woman & Democrat, Cheryl A. Jacques of Needham,
beat him.

Locke became especially notorious for his stupid sarcasm and nbame-calling
during senate debates and hearings and before the press over the gay rights
bill and other legislation affecting LGBpeople.  His vulgar and infantile
language and behavior really marked him out as a "bozo," a malicious clown,
and caused me to wonder how he'd ever risen to pre-eminence about bay state
Republicans, nevermind winning constant re-election from posh, blue-blooded
Wellesley Hills, one of the richest and most snobbish communities in Massa-
chusetts.  (Then again, upper class people have always been more entrenched
in their homophobia than those of other classes, at least in my experience.
Some people are misled by the appearance of "tolerance" which the wealthy's
predilection for homosexual servants and lesbian dalliances creates.)

I guess the GOP was really hard up before Weld arrived on the scene.

Governor Weld also lost his veto club "after voters stripped him of his power
base in the state Senate," according to today's Boston Globe.  All 5 defeated
senators were Republicans, who were all beaten by Democrats: the victors
included 3 women (I assume "Marian" is a "female," "Marion" a "male," name):

	Cheryl A. Jacques (D-Needham)
	Therese Murray (D-Plymounth)
	Marian Walsh (D-West Roxbury)

Diane Wilkerson (D-Boston), legal counsel and vice president of Boston's NAACP,
became the first Black women elected to Massachusetts' Senate, beating her
opponent, Republican Arthur Williams, by a margin of 6-to-1.  Her district
includes the Fenway and part of the South End, 2 areas of Boston that have
perhaps the city's largest LGB populations.

I think another one of the losers, Edward P. Kirby (R-Whitman), was also a
promiment Senate homophobe and outspoken opponent of legislation benefitting
LGBpeople.

The Senate, rather than the House, had been I believe the scene of the most out-
rageous outbursts of homophobia in the state legislature over the past decade.

I may be able to help with this one, too.  (If you people are going
to keep on posting about the MBTA, I'm going to keep on responding,
especially if no one who has more definite information than I 
does.)

The Highland Branch ("D" branch) of the Green Line was built on
a railroad right-of-way.  I think it was the Boston and Albany
Railroad, but I could be wrong.  That's why some of the stations
(Newton Centre, for example) are so elaborate.  I think that
the conversion is relatively recent (1940's or '50's).

It is possible that the spur into Needham is, in fact, an old
railroad spur.  How old is your map?  I'm fairly sure that there
is no connection the Green Line can use, but an old trackbed
may still exist; they tend to last a long time.

The cheapest current fare I have found is $288 RT per person with 7-day advance  
purchase and a Sunday night stay.

Call 800 872 7224 or watch the Travel Channel for more info.

They also have cheap fares to other destinations.  Most flights are on TWA and  
require a stop and/or connection.

Organization: Mail to News Gateway at Wang Labs
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 1992 16:00:44 GMT

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.--November 5, 1992--The Longy School of Music
opened its "Evening of German Opera" festival last night with
strong performances by the 32 member Longy Opera Company, directed
by renowned soprano Donna Roll, and Music Directors Thomas Enman
and Lisa Harer de Calvo.  It was an altogether wonderful evening.

The full ensemble opened the evening's successful performance with the
Entrance of the Nobles from Tannhauser and closed it with another
exciting Wagner selection from Lohengrin.  The ensemble performs with
full opera dress, involving changes between scenes.

Other highlights included performances by mezzo-soprano Dianna Daly
in Mozart's Magic Flute and Flotow's Martha.  Soprano Ana Lorenz
sang well in her Magic Flute lead role, hitting those high notes.
Another experienced Longy mezzo-soprano,  Elisabeth Borg, was
impressive in the role of Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier, along
with her Magic Flute role.

The audience especially enjoyed Mississippi soprano Kim Griffing
and Martha Ebel in their roles from Wagner's seldom performed work
Die Feen, involving lots of mysterious dancing with black capes to
accompany their singing.

The Longy German Opera festival continues through Saturday.
Performances start at 8:00 pm in the Longy concert hall,
27 Garden Street in Cambridge.  Longy is located diagonally
across the green from the Harvard Square T-stop, a few
minutes walk.  Tickets are five dollars.

If you can meet the minimum deposit (I don't recall just what it is, perhaps
$10,000), Bank of Boston (which probably has a branch in the Marlboro/Northboro area) offers their Zenith Portfolio money market/checking account which
includes up to 10 free foreign ATM transactions per month.

There's one in Montpelier, VT called the Vermont Culinary Acadamy.
They run the "Tubbs Restaurant" which has a reputation for very good
food (with occasional misfires).

The only time I tried to have dinner there, I could not get a

I would just insure it in Illinois, but I will be buyng

Well, if New Hampshire is ok, Ledyard National Bank has a system whereby
if you don't go below your minimum, there is no charge for foreign
ATM transactions. If you do, the charge is $2/month, regardless of
number. The minimum for my account there is $400 AVERAGE monthly balance,
which isn't hard to meet if your paycheck stays in there for a week
or so.

The story has been around for years, and is probably anthologized 
in many places.  I believe the title is "A Subway Named Mobius." (The
"o" in "Mobius" should have an umlaut [two dots above].)  I honestly
don't remember if the story was any good--when I read it I was young
and impressed that "my" subway system got used in a story.
