I've been thrown out of better places (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WILLIAMSTOWN â Last Saturdayâs news reports about President Donald Trumpâs order banning journalists associated with CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House put me in mind of occasions on which I was â albeit temporarily and more politely â barred from public property, to wit: a courtroom. It was 1979 and I was covering courts for the former Times-Record newspaper of Troy, N.Y., now published as The Troy Record. Earlier in the year, New Yorkâs highest court had ruled that judge

Read excerpt
WILLIAMSTOWN â Every fall, when school buses take to the roads and streets, I remember my preparations for my first day at Mount Greylock Regional High School in September 1966.

I like old cookbooks and âhousehold managementâ guides partly becaus
A history with parking meters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WILLIAMSTOWN â Itâs been a while since the last time I had a conversation about parking meters in Pittsfield â or anywhere else â but Iâll be well prepared for the next one, thanks to the internet. Facts arenât always rhetorically convenient, and, as a former reporter, I know itâs wise to present potentially troublesome ones âhigh up,â so here goes: A reporter âconceptualizedâ the parking meter in 1932.
