Cossip on Coveney and city politics in a Cambridge era
A long critical piece questions the true identity of A. A. Coveney and cites campaign donations and speeches at Harvard related events. It notes alleged favoritism, municipal graft, and internal machine politics affecting police appointments and park water use, with references to Mayor Daly, Ward Seven, and the nonpartisan group.
