A great look at Ted Williams's swing.
From Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”: Each Williams at bat was an event. Something between a hush and a buzz suddenly filled the air as the crowd shifted from a sort of auto-pilot engagement to edge-of-the-seat anticipation. “I was looking around for a story one day and someone said there was this blind guy on the first base line,” remembered Tim Horgan, who covered the Red Sox for the Boston Herald and then the Boston Evening Traveler in the 1950s. “I went up to the man and said, ‘Pardon me for asking but why do you come to the park? Why not listen to the game on the radio?’ He said, ‘I love the sounds of the game when Ted comes up.’”

The Poets Theatre is reborn with a reading at Sanders Theater of Dylan Thomas's "Under the Milk Wood" featuring Cherry Jones, Alvin Epstein, Karen MacDonald and Tommy Derrah. Those actors were last on stage together in Robert Brustein's adaptation of "Lysistrata" @americanrep or so I'm told.

Just some musings and electronic gatherings of an ink-stained wretch turned social media junkie. As JADAL says: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this organic message. I do concede, however, a significant number of electrons may have been inconvenienced.
