...Thursday morning, as usual, my radio alarm clock turned on "Imus in the Morning" to rouse me for a new day. The first words my semi-conscious mind processed were the I-man's rambling: "The big news of the day is the Yankees have acquired Roger Clemens...
...author who wins the National Book Award can claim literary prestige, but an author who wins the Imus American Book Award can claim a big pot of cash, along with an influential endorsement. DON IMUS, radio's most popular curmudgeon, created the awards to counter the "elitist" selections of those other book honors. Of the four winners announced last week, two were selected by Imus and two by listeners, who voted for their favorites online. Imus' top pick was Freedomland by novelist Richard Price, who will take home $100,000. The other three winners (Pillar of Fire by Taylor Branch...
...which needs to pass the test of history, not just make the next day's Hotline, but why couldn't, say, Senators Mitch McConnell and Barbara Boxer be the ones to stuff a sock in their mouth?

By the way, the prospectus neglects...
...credit them. The way the Globe dealt with him was appropriate. Yet those who see a double standard have a point. The main reason Barnicle was able to hang on to his job is that a powerful network of whites leaped to his defense. Radio talk show host Don Imus, NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert, Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen and CNN's Larry King minimized the seriousness of Barnicle's transgressions. Staples, the big office-supply chain, hinted that it might yank its advertising if Barnicle left the Globe. The pressure gave Barnicle time to make his case...
