    Joe Fitzgerald of the Boston Herald writes today about how the paper was spared 25 years ago, just as Hearst was about to pull the plug:

    Thanks for posting that, Wick. I viewed that situation from the enemy's camp -- 135 Morrissey Blvd. -- but we had plenty of friends who worked at the Herald and no one wanted to see them lose their jobs.

    I mainly remember how we thought the Herald's demise was inevitable and how shocked we were when it was saved. Made for some great post-work beer-soaked celebrations at J.J. Foley's.
