I heard that! Apparently the Globe endorsement appeared the same day. Maybe it's self-interest -- the Kennedy machine is notoriously vicious.
Meanwhile years ago Ted Kennedy tried to put the Herald out of business. (These days he's "expressing concern" that the Globe may be laying off some trust-fund-baby staffers of theirs). So he gets the endorsement of the paper he
tried to squash...It's enough to make you wanna throw
up on television, as former Boston City Councillor Albert L.
"Dapper" O'Neil would say...
>>Teddy had one of his crapulous Senate pals sneak a late-night rider into a Senate budget bill to force Rupert Murdoch - whom Ted kept calling Rudolph Murdoch - to sell both papers if he wanted to retain his more-profitable TV stations in Boston and New York. With his bill of attainder, Teddy was willing to put maybe 1,500 people - mostly blue-collar, almost all union - out of work just to choke off different voices. So much for celebrating diversity.
