Mary Frances Berry of the School of Arts & Sciences commented on the speaker lineup for the first night of this year’s Democratic National Convention. “What a motley crew,” she said. “You should not expect the party to have anybody who might deviate from the party line and say something like the policing bill passed in the House would not do much of anything. I don’t expect hard truths to be told during a convention. It is about packaging and marketing. That’s what they are doing.”
