...week, one sports editor spends the entire evening editing the stories and laying out the sports page for the next day. My night was Friday. For two years I spent Fridays in the basement of the paper, a room named for our production supervisor, a 56-year-old priest from Everett (with Mafia connections), Mr. Patrick R.
