Boston

"And there is the good old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Lowells talk to the Cabots,
And the Cabots talk only to God."
-toast by J. C. Bossidy at Harvard 1910

For those familiar with the history of the northeast this ditty will ring funny and true.  At a time the whole nation would chuckle reading these words.  Now, they are meaningful to students of history.
What does this tell us about the importance of today's worries?
