Still Mr. Mayor

A relaxed and buoyant Mayor Thomas M. Menino vowed to shed the caution and incrementalism that have marked his first 16 years in office and use his unprecedented fifth term to boldly tackle problems in education, public safety, and city administration. "I feel so good about it, so, so good about myself," Menino told the Globe in a wide-ranging, hourlong interview, kicking back in a chair in his fifth-floor City Hall office overlooking Faneuil Hall. "I don't mean to sound like an egomaniac. I feel so good about myself.’"
