Most Bostonians would love to send their children to school closer to home. But, says Adam Reilly, Mayor Menino and city-council president Michael Flaherty are flubbing efforts to make it happen, while making it all too easy for Councilor Chuck Turner to play the race card.

It's too soon to take heart in George W. Bush's recent comeuppance, Dan Kennedy reports. The Republican attack machine is about to go after John Kerry, and it's not going to be pretty.

Susan Ryan-Vollmar on why this lesbian couple, who have been together for 20 years, are going to take a pass on the whole wedding thing come May 17, when it will finally be legal for them to marry.

Stephen M. Mindich engages in a dialogue with an opponent of gay marriage.

On Valentine's Day, the folks known as quirkyalones may wind up without a smooch, but they certainly won't be whining about it. Amy Finch explains.

In a city of high rents, gentrification, zoning ordinances, and apathetic attitudes, the future of local alternative art spaces doesn't look bright. Camille Dodero reports.

In the Phoenix editorial, we weigh in on Councilor Turner's use of the race card, top cop O'Toole's convention challenge, and Cheney's hypocrisy in the national same-sex-marriage debate.

In "Out There," Steve Almond finds no sweet surrender.

In "Urban Buy," Christine Junge ponders a taxing issue.
