Shots In The Dark

Dateline: Kinko's, Harvard Square

It's wonderful to be back in Cambridge and Boston...despite the fact that my arrival coincided with a bitterly cold blizzard. Today the temperature is expected to hit a record low for this day in March.

But despite the cold outside, the reception here has been warm. Thanks very much to everyone at WGBH, CN8 Nitebeat, WBUR and Fox News for having me on. And thanks too to the good people at the Harvard Bookstore and the Harvard Coop, who have been so supportive of Harvard Rules, even though, as one bookseller told me, "lots of people buy it and then hide it under another book."

Ah, well--there are worse things than being a guilty pleasure.

I also spent a rewarding couple of hours last night with the reporters and editors of the Harvard Crimson, who plied me with alcohol and then asked tough questions. (These folks have a future in journalism.) I've read and relied upon so much of their work, it was a real pleasure to put faces to names. Stay in touch.
