Eventually the tour arrives at the factory of M.S. Walker, Somerville’s very own vodka bottling company. Cappy has never actually been there before, but thought it was important to see while in Somerville, given how many Harvard students use its products every weekend (Walker is responsible for Gilbert’s, Cossack, S.S. Pierce, and a host of other cheap, cheap plastic handle favorites on campus). Upon arriving at Walker it appears that the gate is locked, but Cappy insists that we squeeze through the fence anyway to get a closer look (at the parking...
There doesn't seem to be much doubt now that Yasser Esam Hamdi was born on the bayou. Or that Hamdi and alleged Taliban turncoat John Walker Lindh were among the holdouts in the Qala-i-Jangi prison riot that day, raising the possibility that the two knew each other.

In this art scene which did not yet value photography, Bochner produced a series of innovative photographs that proved the medium’s potential. His seminal works would later help to elevate the status...
...about the Celtics? Best season since the Bird era. Do you understand how insane that is? Have you ever seen Antoine Walker play? The fact that a basketball team at any level—I’m talking eighth grade JV—could win with Walker boggles my mind. He shoots 20 percent from the field, he perenially leads the league in turnovers and his woeful ballhandling skills should be showcased on a bloopers tape of that Nike commercial where everyone dribbles in rhythm. Walker’s dribbling could be put to the soundtrack of Rosanne?...
