The Boston Globe: Nightmare’s End

20 Saturday Apr 2013

Posted by jcinvests in Uncategorized

≈ 1 Comment

A few posts about the Boston bombings:

  • Front page of the globe: nightmare’s end (BostonGlobe)
  • David Remnick: The Brothers Tsarnaev (NewYorker)
  • Brothers in marathon bombing took two paths into infamy (BostonGlobe)
  • Boston Strong.  This past week has shown me that this slogan is understated.  It’s probably why President Obama’s “they picked the wrong city to do it, not here in Boston” remarks were so powerful.  Bostonians are some tough SOBs.  In what other city would it be acceptable for a campy Neil Diamond tune to become a sing-along tradition at a baseball game? (YouTube)
