With the grand opening of BoYo (“Bo”ston “Yo”gurt) in May, a third Berryline location flourishing in Fenway, and South Korean frozen dessert chain Red Mango set to open its first Boston location this fall, tangy frozen yogurt competition in Beantown has seen an uptick of late. And for at least one yogurt peddler, no time of year is busier than the beginning of a new fall semester. Whitney Chicoine, who has worked at Berryline’s Fenway location since its opening in June, said she noticed that...
...Kennedy lives under the rule of a peculiar metaphysic. He had to soldier on in the messy world after Camelot floated away into memory.

Before he was 30, Flann O'Brien had published a novel (At Swim-Two-Birds) that won praise from no less a boyo than Jimmy Joyce. Myles na Gopaleen took up writing the odd play now and then but spent close to 25 years doing funny pieces for the newspapers. Now here's a strange thing. All three of these lads died at the same instant on April Fools...
