Fwd: Re: Re: Heat Wave Triggers Demise of the Elderly; WCRB Arbitrends(tm) Decline

["Laurence Glavin" <lglavin@lycos.com>]

 You had to have read the Arts and Entertainment sections of the Globe
and Herald to read them.  Richard Dyer, the Globe's music critic 
did a feature article in the Sunday paper that summer.  T. J. Medrek
is now the official music critic of the Herald but then I believe he
was a contributing writer at that time.  He had a short interview 
with William Campbell using the usual excuses for the decision.
It was the dawn of the dot-com advertising boom, and Soupy must have
had visions of 4- and 6-spot breaks between the Telemann and Vivaldi 
concertos (the plural I prefer over 'concerti').

This comment, of course, is coming from an unbiased source, but when did
WCRB ever take a journalistic hit? I don't remember either paper criticizing
their decision.

Even several BILLION dollars is a finite amount; how long can
even a person of his resources keep bleeding moolah?

It's all a writeoff for Paul Allen.
