In a recent issue, we asked our readers to text in their thoughts on the outcome of the Massachusetts primary. Here’s what one had to say:
The clintons are no tom reilly. Hillary is no healey.
Editor’s note
In January of 2003, the Boston Phoenix ran an article headlined “Children at Risk.” The piece focused on the difficulty family courts throughout the nation face in child-custody cases where child abuse is alleged. It mentioned a number of custody cases, including one involving Ovando Cowles and his ex-wife. The Phoenix did not intend to suggest that Mr. Cowles abused his daughter. In Mr. Cowles’s case, the court, after trial, found no evidence of abuse. We regret that the article did not make that clear, and apologize for any distress the article may have caused Mr. Cowles.
