From today's lead editorial in the Herald:
You'd think that a world class city like Boston with a full card of mega-building projects on the horizon could figure out what to do about the little stuff--in this case the pushcart vendors being ousted by the redevelopment of the old Filene's building. [emph. added]
Two questions:
1. What, exactly, makes a city "world class"?
2. Might there be an inverse relationship between
saying you're "world class" and actually
being "world class"?
