Big Dig
Sen. Kerry under microscope of Boston Globe reporters
Presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) will be the subject of a multipart investigative series soon to appear in The Boston Globe. Several months ago, the paper assigned “a team of reporters to dig through Kerry’s legislative, political and personal lives,” said a Globe source.
The Globe reported earlier this year that Kerry’s grandparents were Jewish and not Irish Catholic, as many assumed they were.
That news was uncovered by the paper’s special team and deemed “too hot to hold.”
One story being examined for the upcoming series involves Kerry’s brief fling in the 1980s with a young British journalist working in Washington. Dates planned around his tight schedule often began late at night, after political functions where the bachelor lawmaker eagerly seeking gravitas couldn’t afford to be seen in the company of an attractive 25-year-old reporter.
The woman soon tired of the arrangement and dumped Kerry for a member of Pink Floyd.
