STOP THE PRESSES!
SEPTEMBER 27, 2014

In a true stop-the-presses moment (in my fervid imagination, at least), last night the Boston Globe editors made a last minute change to the Saturday front page. For the first time in anyone's memory, maybe the first time ever, they ran an illustration on the front page.

"unbelievable
Your illo is going on the front page on the boston globe!
I've been here 13 years and this is the first editorial illo on the front of the globe. it may be the first ever."
Given the previous back and forth by the editors, my elation was tinged with a hint of skepticism. But sure enough, this morning I rubbed the smeglies out of my eyes and looked, and there it is.
Many thanks to doughty art director Greg Klee
