...note, of a two-term presidency--the head of the Soprano crime family is thinking about his legacy. (Fair warning: here's where the spoilers begin.) In the first new episode, Tony, still feeling the effects of having been gut-shot by dementia-addled Uncle Junior, is celebrating his 47th birthday. Later there's a reference to one of his Mob peers, who died at 47. No one connects the dots explicitly, but the parallel is not lost on Tony. "My estimate, historically, 80% of the time, [a Mob boss] ends up in the can," he tells his brother...
Freshman Trevor Petach took 54th in the 10K and placed similarly in the 20K classic at the 53rd position. Burruss also placed well in the 20K, leading the Crimson with a time of 1:05:38.5, landing the 47th position...

It was a class society, and we were...
...college student volunteers in that state. Massachusetts, as it were, was an immaculate white. (I won’t try to explain the significant positive correlation between red states on this map and those on a traditional red-blue map. The political repercussions are beyond this piece.) Coming in 47th out of 50 states, the state that puts “The Spirit of America” on its license plates had a 24 percent college volunteering rate, 6.5 percent below the national average and better than only New York, Nevada, and Georgia—a rare political outlier...
