Standing in front of a row of potted plants, Kishi pointedly remarked to a reporter: "These plants were all selected by a master gardener, but some are not perfect under the surface.

...bleak, barnlike TV studio on the fringes of San Francisco's Skid Row, District Attorney Tom Lynch asked for bids on a rattan duck rising from dried grasses, Columnist Herb ("Mr. San Francisco") Caen tried to peddle the services of a private eye.

Every day, for 86 years, an employee of the Globe had climbed a ladder propped against the building and posted headlines on a wooden signboard. Early last month a final bulletin went up: "Globe says goodbye to Newspaper Row." Last week Globe Editor Larry Winship was proudly showing Massachusetts newsmen the four-color presses in his paper's new $12 million building in nearby Dorchester; and, for the first time since 1860, Washington Street was without a daily newspaper...
