An effort that looked promising to some residents a few
days back.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm not a fan of Tommy Coke and he should
not get a seventy nine percent pay raise.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Appears to have fallen short in Quinsy, where a petition
to put a scheduled pay raise for Mayor Thomas Coke,
if re elected to voters comes shy of the required
number of signatures.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
This is called country down here.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
According to the Quinsy Sun, the city clerk says many
of the more than seven thousand signatures collected didn't meet
the state guidelines for certification, adding she spoke to outside
consul to confirm the proper standards were used and met. Ultimately,
that left a campaign more than eight hundred signatures short
of the required minimum. Chris Fama WBZ, Boston's news radio

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
