@@@@@His face was small and ugly, pocked with the @@@@@His face was small and ugly, pocked with the scars of a severe acne which had left his skin lumpy, spotted with swatches of purple-redPerhaps it was the color of his face, or it might have been the shape of his long Irish nose, which slanted resentfully to one side, but he always looked wrothYet he was only twenty-four
In South Boston and Dorchester and Roxbury the gray wooden houses parade for miles in a file of drabness and desolation and wasteThe streetcars jangle through a wilderness of cobblestone and sapless wood; the brick is old and powders under your fingertips if you rub it vigorouslyAll colors are lost in the predominating gray; the faces of the people have assumed it at lastThere are no Jews or Italians or Irish -- their features have blurred in an anonymous mortar which has rendered them homogeneous and dustyIt is in their speechThey all talk with the same depressing harsh arid tongue"If I had a caah, I'd show it some caaer, I mean some caaer, I wouldn't paaark it just anywhaah It was founded by burghers and is ruled by bourgeois; everything flows on glabrous surfaces, everything is fine in Boston to read the newspapers, which are all the same, everything is okay in politics because the political parties are the sameEverybody belongs to the middle class, everybody down to the bums who drowse and retch on the subway that goes to Maverick Square in East Boston at two ASomewhere they must have protested against going into the mortar but it is all lost now There is a deadening regularity and a sullen vicious temper that rides underneath the surface, the glabrous surface of the Boston Herald and Post and Traveler and Daily Record and Boston-American, it erupts in the drunks who splatter the subways more completely than the drunks of any other city, it skitters around Scollay Square, where lust is always sordid and Sodom copulates in garbageIt even moves in the traffic, which is snarled and sullen and frenetic, and it rides the brow when the kids are beaten up in the alleyways, and the synagogues and cemeteries are fouled with language and symbol, "The fuggin kikes" and the cross or swastika"I am distressed to hear of it," says Governor Curley, Saltonstall, Tobin

@@@@@What had she done?
Walked right into the @@@@@What had she done? Walked right into the arms of the enemyShe knew what military government meant: the helplessness and the rage, the constant fear that they'd confiscate your house or put you in jail or shoot you if you broke one of their lawsMilitary government was all-powerfulShe had lived under its capricious rule for five harsh yearsHow could she have been such a fool as to stumble back into it again?
