I’m not much of a baseball fan anymore, but Bart Giamatti’s “Green Fields of the Mind” still hits, especially when the last weekend of the regular season coincides with a nor’easter.
Thrilled to announce that Hallie Grossman, Jason Zengerle, Thomas Boswell, S.L. Price and Lincoln Roch are the 2026 winners of the Dan Jenkins Medal for Excellence in Sportswriting. Full information at https://t.co/BsBh6GRQmr. Awards dinner tix (on 9/17): https://t.co/W6Q3DyFK3e.
@JamesRosenTV Oh, interesting. Scalia was also my mom's boss at the Administrative Conference back in the early 70s when she was just out of law school. I think my dad was clerking for Burger then. Small legal world.
@JonahDispatch@senderowiczj@NRO Not accurate you left NR b/c it was too Trumpy? If so, sorry about that...and why did you leave? Will fix if/when there's a paperback.
One of the most interesting (and nerve-racking) interviews I've ever done was this long Q&A with Barney Frank, back in 2012, as he was getting ready to leave Congress. He was a very smart man who had an unusually low tolerance for bullshit. https://t.co/QmCgAbRdzM
Thank you to the Jenkins Medal judges for nominating my story about Blaire Fleming and the San Jose State University volleyball team for its Best Sportswriting of the year award. I'm honored to be in such excellent company. https://t.co/JiRmYR7C61
An unprecedented gerrymandering effort led by Donald Trump—and internal divisions among Democrats—has made the Minority Leader’s path to victory harder than ever. https://t.co/l1SG2vnUkO
I wrote about Hakeem Jeffries & his quest to become Speaker of the House for @NewYorker. Also covered: his "old school" Brooklyn upbringing; his "frictionless" rise up the Democratic Party ladder; the C.B.C.; the D.S.A.; redistricting; & what it means to be a wartime consigliere.
Let's see if this website is actually good for something. Does anyone on here know the identity (and the story) of the security guard from the 1988 Guns N' Roses concert at the Meadowlands that's in the "Paradise City" video? This has been gnawing at me for nearly 40 years.
