The Riverside Cemetery could run out of space within a few years, and school officials say they need a new building, so the sides are at odds over the largest piece of land available in the town of Saugus, Massachusetts.
The Army reported this week that more graves were exhumed and that more graves were discovered to be marked improperly. Here's an editorial from Mass Live on the problems at Arlington.
"Show me your cemeteries, and I will tell you what kind of people you have." -- Benjamin Franklin

You can find a companion site at Facebook, and I'm tweeting about these subjects at Twitter, at @TaphoFiles.
