I yesterday overlooked how John Updike wrote one of my favorite pieces of magazine journalism, a reflection of his versatility and his adoption of New England. We speak of the New Yorker classic Hub fans bid Kid adieu : Fenway Park, in Boston, is a lyric...
Far more interesting than ProJo sports columnist Jim Donaldson's assertion today that Jim Rice is not "a real Hall of Famer" (his italics) are some of the responses from readers on projo.com. Donaldson's point is that Jim Ed was "borderline...
