What-were-they-thinking errors in today's Brookline Tab:

- In an article on a new production of "My Fair Lady":

People liked Harrison, and that’s the trick, because Higgins has his faults, spending lots of time berating Eliza (remember the “impotent hussy” lyric?).

Um, no, I don't. Mainly because the lyric is "impudent hussy," something hussies are generally much more known for than impotence.

what's up in Central Square?

Mass Ave. and Main Street near Central Square are blocked off, and there's lots of flashing lights; I spotted both T and Cambridge police directing traffic. Are there Red Line problems? Anybody know what's going on?

Edit: Discarded TV blown up by robot.

"Exploitation"?

Seen on Sidney St. on the way to Central Square this morning: several guys standing around drinking coffee and wearing posterboards with handwritten signs:

IMMUNOGEN
uses contractors
that "EXPLOIT"
their workers

Anybody have any idea what this is about?
