Comments on: Times to Globe: It’s hard out here for a pimp! http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2009/04/09/times-to-globe-its-hard-out-here-for-a-pimp/ Rory O'Connor's blog Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:43:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Tom Mulvoy http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2009/04/09/times-to-globe-its-hard-out-here-for-a-pimp/#comment-71955 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 15:05:29 +0000 http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2009/04/09/times-to-globe-its-hard-out-here-for-a-pimp/#comment-71955 Rory, Back in the day, I was the deputy sports editor handing out copy to you and those two quiet revolutionaries on an old-style copy desk, Ed Siegel and Peter Accardi. You moved on before I had a chance to try to get you to commit, like Ed and Peter, to making the Globe even better than it was in those days. Yes, there was the good,the bad, and the ugly at the paper, but there was a mission in place on the journalism side that has held up remarkably well since that time. Of those up and at 'em days at the Globe when Nixon ruled and buses rolled, we weren't in a deadly fix, but we were always on the edge because the paper was saying things lots of folks didn't like. I remember thinking often at the time of Virgil's Aeneas's remarks in the midst of one of his endless struggles: "Forsan et haec olim memnisse juvabit," or "There will come a time when it will be pleasing to remember what we are doing now." I think in Latin less and less these days, but surely that time has come for many an old Globeman. All best to you. Tom Rory,

They trashed the NYTimes by making it a shill for the BA and Wall Street and now they want to do the deed to the Globe. Jr. is a disaster. His father posted the Pentagon paper. If Jr. was in charge, that never would have happened. Any questions? Great post. Sulzberger and Keller are pimps.
