Produktbeschreibung

We had just beaten a few of the top men's rugby football clubs in the East that excelled in both sevens and fifteens. This included - Mystic River, Beacon Hill, the Washington Exiles and two good college teams - Brown University and Coast Guard Academy. As I prepared for the championship final against another very good men's club - the Hartford Wanderers RFC - I lay down on the sidelines and stretched my sore leg muscles. My mind drifted and I couldn't help but remember the previous three consecutive finals our school (URI) had participated in. We had beaten some excellent teams each year to advance to the Harvard Business School Sevens finals, but we had lost each close championship match. This rugby sevens tournament was the most popular sevens tournament in the East and it consisted of rugby clubs - men's and college teams from all over and the U.S. - winner takes all!

Autorenporträt

Connor Murphy is a former "Alinsky organizer," like President Barack Obama, and a long-time city planner who is tired of seeing good people defeated time and time again by fast-talking developers who bully city halls into approving projects that disfigure neighborhoods, overload schools, and eat away the essence of community. His other books include Fight City Hall and Win and Common Sense Zoning.
