Amusing Baseball Quote of the Day
I just thought the only ONLY thing that defined the Red Sox was that they couldn’t win the world series. So then they won, and they’re not really the Red Sox anymore. They’re just some anonymous team that players leave so they can go cut their hair and join the Yankees. – Curt Siffert
Chautauqua Day 5: David Marash
David Marash is one of those Emmy-winning journalists who trucks in a different kind of celebrity than the name-trotting sort headlining newscasts today. He’s a genuine article, deep in voice and language, the rare breed of television media personality who believes in the strength of long-format journalism, reporting stories to conclusion, rather than fatigue, and [...]
Chautauqua, Day 4: Juan Williams
National Public Radio’s Juan Williams is funny. No, you can’t tell from the picture. Here he looks angry. Brooding. Somber. Morose.

Chautauqua, Day 3: Arianna Huffington Lecture Today
More on this lecture after I actually see it.

At [...]
Chautauqua, Day 2: David Westin
Let me start by saying that, as far as executives inside major corporations go, my experience heretofor has been that company lawyers are about the last folks you want to invite to the big chair, to Presidencies and Chief-Executiveships. That’s not to say that savvy business people can’t be lawyers too, but those folks who [...]
Chautauqua, Day 1: John Harwood
John Harwood was an interesting choice to have kick off the Chautauqua season, and the week one series of discussions on ethics and the media. His focus, in a sort of round-about way, was that political party polarization both feeds, and is fed by, the drive for viewership of a sensationalism-hungry media.Harwood refers to parties [...]
