As part of their continuing efforts to revive interest in the artform of the spoken word, the "Sidewalk Poets" held their second annual "Poetry in the Park" series of readings in the Boston Common last weekend...
From Archie Bunker's weekly tantrums to J.R.'s endless scheming, familiarity on TV has usually bred contentment.
