Sorry I haven’t blogged much lately

But I’ve been really busy with working on a piece for The New York Times (!!!) that I just finished tonight. Should be appearing next Thursday. Keep an eye out.

Just got to finish up some minor things and head to bed.

But first, a couple of really tragic and really cool stories (courtesy Aaron):

A 21-year-old college student died Thursday of a head injury after a clash between police and a crowd of Red Sox fans who poured into the streets outside Fenway Park to celebrate their team’s victory over the New York Yankees.

Victoria Snelgrove, a journalism major at Emerson College in Boston, was shot in the eye by a projectile fired by an officer on crowd-control duty. The nature of the projectile was not immediately identified but the weapons are meant to be non-lethal.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton has set his sights on becoming U.N. secretary-general. A Clinton insider and a senior U.N. source have told United Press International the 56-year-old former president would like to be named leader of the world body when Kofi Annan’s term ends early in 2006.
