Frank Bruni reports a new fact in the Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) origin story. How and why did he acquire his “famous truck,” as he calls it?
As Arianna, the younger of his two daughters, told me, he originally purchased it not so he could haul lumber but so
Scott Brown’s campaign for Senate made much out of some comments by Democrats that seemed to auger for a short delay in seating the winner of the Massachusetts special election. Now that he’s won by a clear margin, there is no apparent move by Democrats to delay him. That isn’t More…
