Yet Angell's passion for baseball is enough to convert the heathen. Millions of casual TV viewers saw Red Sox Catcher Carlton Fisk's extra-inning home run in the sixth game of the 1975 World Series. Angell's account goes beyond the heroics on the field. He imagines people all over New England receiving the news-"jumping...
Like the Marx Brothers, the Berrigans are easy to confuse with each other. Which one is Chico, Daniel, Harpo, and Philip? One of those four toots a horn and another dislikes Israel. Philip Berrigan will speak at the Community Church at 1859 Centre St, West Roxbury at 11 a.m. Berrigan, a prominent Vietnam protester, is currently involved in the anti-nuke movement. If you are still curious about Harpo and Chico, check out the Harvard Square Theatre...
