Rabbi Zarchi Confronted Maria Ressa, Walked Off Stage Over Her Harvard Commencement Speech
Newsstands all over Boston were mobbed yesterday by people trying to buy out-of-town newspapers as the local branch of the International Typographical Union continued its strike.
In the Square, a riot was almost touched off by news-hungry students who bought out the supplementary supply in record time. A crowd in South Station tore the New York papers off the stands before they could be properly assembled, often leaving with only half of the thick Sunday edition. The entire supply was sold in ten minutes.
One man, who waited an hour and a half, only to be pushed aside by the struggling crowd, explained, "I wanted to get the funnies for my wife." Another, more successful, man rushed off with his prize without waiting for the change from his $5 bill.
