...search the past for artists who were pariahs then, suitable for veneration now. Thus the hierarchy is upended. Novelists lauded in the '50s are forgotten now (don't expect a Sloan Wilson or James Gould Cozzens revival any time soon), while writers who were published only in cheap paperbacks (Jim Thompson) are heroes. Producer Stanley Kramer was the social conscience of Hollywood; yet his films receive little attention now (and if they do, it's dismissive), while Ed Wood gets a Tim Burton hagiography starring Johnny Depp...

...mine to see my roommate standing in front of the Green Monster and roaming left field so gracefully,” said Joe Carr, a Boston native and the roommate of leftfielder Chris Mackey. “Seeing number four out there reminds me of a young Yaz, Jim Rice, and Ted Williams combination.” Across the aisle, Rob Balkema, a New Jersey native, Mets fan, and Harvard football player, made sure to poke fun at the many Red Sox fans surrounding him by reminding them of the infamous Bill Buckner missed ground ball in the 1986 World...
