    What's the matter with those people?
    Didn't they have any internets???

    The big sheet in the middle column mentions Winston Churchill bidding the Italian people to "oust Mussolini," their fascist dictator. He made that speech on December 23, 1940.

    During the 1950s and 60s my mother worked here at the Enterprise, writing articles for the social pages. I went inside the building a few times to see her, but in 1959 went in on my own to read an essay I wrote on WBET, the newspaper's radio station.

    I remember as a kid, I used to see this and people gatherd th read some of the headlines that would appear in the paper! The Brockton Enterprise had been sold out to the the ledger. The Enterprise does not belong to the people of Brockton anymore!
