That a man of Frazier's "class"-to borrow one of his favorite words-should find harbor on the Herald is as unlikely as the discovery of Lucius Beebe's byline in Mad magazine. Boston papers, the Herald included, rank among the dreariest in the land, a reputation enriched every year. One measure of Boston journalism is that the Herald hired Frazier in 1961 to replace four comic strips. No doubt the paper considered the exchange a compliment to their...

One of the doves was normally belligerent Bobby Kennedy, who, said the Post, thought that "an air attack against Cuba would be a Pearl Harbor in reverse, and contrary to all American traditions...

Cabot was 54, but he passed his test and flew antisubmarine patrols around Boston Harbor in a seaplane hunting eagerly for Germans he could swat. Still bedazzled by the promise of the air age, he experimented with a variety of inventions, patented a system by which planes could pick up air mail and other bundles from sea sleds while still in flight, and established pioneering research...
