Newsweek. “Backlash in Boston.”

October 31, 1967

(Oct.) Newsweek. In the cover story, the magazine says of Louise Day Hicks and her supporters, “They [her supporters] looked like characters out of Moon Mullins, and she was their homegrown Mamie made good. Sloshing beer at the long tables in the unadorned room of the South Boston Social and Athletic Club sat a comic-strip gallery of tipplers and brawlers and their tinseled over-dressed dolls. . . The men queued up to give Louise their best, unscrewing cigar butts from their chins to buss her noisily on the cheek.”
