Editorials
A fifth term is debatable
Menino launches his reelection bid in a position of strength, but voters deserve a spirited campaign. (Boston Globe)

Columns
The Hollywoodization of Wall Street

Even a few hundred thousand more sales would be enough to save an assembly plant or two. (By Daniel Arturo Heller, Boston Globe)
