--Another fire broke out in Haverhill last night, and people were injured jumping out of the windows. No one died in the blaze, but 24 people have lost their homes. [Boston Globe, Boston Herald]
--The state Supreme Judicial Court is letting Heidi Erickson, who kept over 60 dead cats in a Beacon Hill apartment, can keep two of the dead cats. She must have one hell of a lawyer. [Boston Herald]
--Hollywood's new love of Boston has a downside. A movie crew took up 25 overnight parking spots in South Boston. We suspect it was Real Men Cry. [Platinum Elite]
--Then again, it has an upside. New movie The Great Debaters, starring Denzel Washington and partially set at Harvard, will premiere at Harvard on December 18 at the Carpenter Center. [Harvard Crimson]
--Mitt Romney's speech about religion (but not quite about his religion) didn't distract the Globe from investigating those he hires to work on his home in Belmont. (Or, as Rudy Giuliani would say, his "sanctuary mansion" in Belmont.) This time, the paper is looking into some painters that he hired this year. [Boston Globe]
