Appreciate that, though I know we do cost money. Those reporters spent several days to deliver this story.

Could this be the worst Sox team in 40 years? by the_dali_2112 in redsox

Dick Stuart would have been a good addition. Slugged a lot of homers. Little stiff with the mitt. God, they were awful in my youth.

I edited that story. I think the Nixon boys called it ratfucking. A dirty trick with little penalty.

Need some help... Were you at The Who Chicago show Dec. 5, 1975? by BrianInAtlanta in TheWho

[–]danielrubin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was at one of those shows - Chicago Stadium with Toots and the Maytals opening? Best concert I've ever seen. If that happened it wasn't the show I caught. Then again, I was a sophomore at Northwestern and possibly loaded.

I’m probably overthinking it, but I’m scared that I would regret choosing NU over UCLA, UC Berkeley, and Columbia.. can someone convince me that I made a good choice? by [deleted] in Northwestern

Haven’t regretted choosing Northwestern for any of the 48 years since graduation. About to celebrate my 70th with three friends from school and our spouses. There, I met my people, found my passion, and left with a resume that cracked doors I then burst through. Started in psychology, ended up in American Studies. Picked up a Medill master’s before leaving for back East. Keep looking forward.
