I received $100 per week when I started working at the Globe after graduation.

The future is electronic. It's radio, television and the Internet; it's not really newspapers anymore.

The wonderful thing about television is the immediate impact of pictures of current events.

When I started at the Globe 40 years ago, there were seven newspapers in Boston and now there are only two. There were only three or four television stations in Boston and now there are a dozen.

Overall, I think Michael Jordan is the greatest athlete in any particular sport. He dominated the game for the Chicago Bulls and brought the NBA to its greatest peak of popularity.

The ability of players to jump teams when their contracts are up has hurt fan loyalty.

I think the greatest all-around athlete ever was Jim Brown. He played lacrosse, basketball and ran track at Syracuse. He played professional football for the Browns.
