The Opposition to Scheme Z

This chapter explores the opposition to scheme Z, a public works project involving the construction of highways and ramps equivalent in size to the Boston Common. It discusses the tactics used by Richard Goldberg, the main opponent of the project, including hiring lawyers and PR experts, funding studies, and organizing a coalition of activists. The chapter also examines the role of the media in fueling the opposition and the determination of Fred Salvucci, a key figure in the project, to proceed despite the criticism.
