I was privy to an email by a person present at the scene in Maidan Square in Kyiv, Ukraine. He gave his personal insight and thoughts into what is happening there. I thought it worth sending out to you who may have an interest in these matters. I do so without his permission but as…
Two Irishmen: James (Whitey) Bulger and James (Jimmy the Gent) Burke: Boston vs New York
