What??!! On what grounds? Some years ago Mass. [Boston] was trying to  
lay claim to the first commercial electric streetcar system in the  
US, till Richmonders set them straight. Hmmm, when he was running for  
Gov. and the Boston Globe was touting him as the first black governor  
in the US, assuming he won, I wrote and informed them that he'd be  
the second. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who told them. Do those  
people even bother to look up things before they spout off?  
[evidently not].
