Haven't there been articles around here that state Busing wasn't that popular back then.. not just with Boston?

A visitor from Mars could be forgiven for assuming that racial busing had been wise and beneficial, and that no reasonable mind could deny it.

But, Reasonable Minds did deny it!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
