The Sunday paper has been The Sunday Republican for a number of years, I
believe. I didn't know the daily had become The Republican, too.

For all the newspaper people out there: I have just launched the new
boston-newspaper-interest (stodgy name, I know) mailing list. E-mail me
off-list if you wish to join (and hadn't expressed interest in this to
me already).
