My local NPR station, WBUR, had a (somewhat inappropriately sanguine) profile of Scott Brown on this morning. The feature included references to his troubled childhood: his single mother, the time spent on welfare, his rocky relationships with authoritative men, er, stepdads, as well as sultry descriptions of his famed athleticism. Brown, who is fifty years old, has been a member of the Massachusetts National Guard for nearly 30 years. He loves military-type service - really loves it - and not just the tough, fighting side of service, but the soft, brother-to-brother side, too. From the WBUR story:

    "Like all storybook heroes, Brown is definitely a dude, but he also has a soft side, according to his friend Vallee. Brown is an attorney inside the National Guard. Because he's a Republican, you might expect him to be a law-and-order guy and represent the prosecution. But instead, Brown represents guard members who face getting kicked out."
