A round town
Every town should have a columnist with a voice. When I first got to Boston that columnist was George Frazier. These days, I would submit, that columnist is the Boston Globe’s Alex Beam. People ask me how things are in Boston what with the Democratic Convention and such, and I cant say much – all I have seen as evidence of convention is a gigantic armored truck parked behind police headquarters, which is near my home. But Alex’s “Welcome to Planet Boston,” done as part of a Boston Globe Convention special tells what this event means to this town, this Hub of the Universe, and how we feel toward our visitors. -thebostonglobe.com, July 26, 2004
The Bomb and the moon landings
They were triumphs of physical science, all-out assaults on the frontier of what was possible, waged with military-style organization and huge amounts of government money. They were here, and then were gone. - NYT, July 27, 2004
