Edi, sounds terrific. I found something at the doctor's offce -- compact, bright, great photos and interesting stories, called Newsweek. I'm going to see if I can order one. GV

Bruce, mundane visit, thanks. I agree with you about Matsui. Derek jeter's statement today that Matsui was an idea teammate was correct. Matsui was a classic Yankee the day he arrived. He wasn't DiMaggio or Mantle, but he was Henrich and Bauer and O'Neill.

QUOTES
From the great Maureen Dowd: As I write this, I’m in a deserted newsroom in The Times’s D.C. office. After working at home for two years during Covid, I was elated to get back, so I could wander around and pick up the latest scoop. But in the last year, there has been only a smattering of people whenever I’m here, with row upon row of empty desks. Sometimes a larger group gets lured in for a meeting with a platter of bagels." --- Dowd writes about the lost world of journalists clustered in newsrooms at all hours, smoking, drinking, gossipping, making phone calls, typing, editing. *** "Putting out the paper," we called it. Much more than nostalgia. ---https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/29/opinion/journalism-newsroom.html Categories
