The Globe recently interviewed four current and former employees of Community Lawn Service with a Heart, the tiny Chelsea-based company that provides upkeep of Romney's property. All but one said they were in the United States illegally.There's the image at 0:15 of Romney standing in front of a nice, big, red star. Call me weird, but that's the sort of symbology I was used to from the old Soviet Union.
