And the folks who owned WEEI back then (Helen Broadcasting) were 
ultra-ultra righties, not that there's anything wrong with that, but 
they tried to slant the news, which had historically been neutral and fair.

Oh how I'd love to find them.  I have a collection of many newspaper 
articles from all the available papers which discussed the various 
changes, but it's not the same as having the actual archival 
materials.  You asked about Carlo-- he was a wonderful person-- Carlo 
LaGrotteria, I believe was his full name.  He passed away a few years 
ago. But what I've seen all too often, and Scott knows this too, is 
that when new owners come in, they often throw their archives into 
the dumpster... sigh...
