Once again, no newspapers for the hardreading staff. So, it’s back to the ePapers.
Front pages first. (We’re starting to feel like Fiorello Laguardia during New York’s 1945 newspaper strike.)
Boston Herald:
Boston Globe:
Human interest next.
Herald:
Globe:
Finally, sports pages.

The hardpasting staff will now trundle around Brookline Village in search of actual papers. Details at . . . whenever.

The Boston Herald has long been a self-promotion machine, touting some coverage that led to government action or crowing about its inclusion in the Newseum’s Top Ten Front Pages on a particular day.
But not today, because that latter distinction belongs to crosstown rival Boston Globe.

Plow on, Heraldniks.
