Unfavorite son
The city fathers of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Austrian home town, Graz, have decided to rename the Schwarzenegger Stadium in protest of the governor's refusal to stop Tuesday's execution of Stanley "Tookie" Williams.A similar thing happened to me when the city of Lowell took my name off the Northern Canal when it caught me wearing synthetic fabrics rather than water-powered loom textiles.
It's tough to be out of favor with one's birthplace. Strangely enough, Lowell renamed its library after me because I didn't protest Tookie's execution.
