Writing from Boston. Didn't have the advantage of reading the paper edition. But I must be slipping. Didn't get any right. I happen to pay particularly close attention to the "clean and sober" houses next to each other story and remember the court translator story. And also read the story about the new Heritage College president John Bassett coming from Massachusetts's Clark University. Perplexes me why I didn't get any right on this quiz. There are plenty more quizzes in the media though.
