I think Thomas Boswell is one of DC's greatest sportswriters - he is one of the people at the Post whom I look forward to reading whenever I can. Basically, I have nothing negative to say about him. One question, though: I remember back in 1997 when Mark McGwire was chasing Roger Maris, someone for the Post called McGwire "Our Babe Ruth." Shortly thereafter, the legendary Shirley Povich (1905-1998), sports editor since *1925*, took issue with the comment, saying something along the lines of: "Now hold on just a cotton-pickin' minute there!" etc. That's a little embellished, but the general tone is intact. Does anyone remember if this was in rebuttal to Boswell (as opposed to someone else), and what, if anything, was Boswell's response? It was a great little back-and-forth.

About a month ago, I finally cancelled my home delivery and went digital-only.The "Print Edition" app works great on an iPad if you want to read it and flip through the pages as if you are reading the actual printed paper (it is the app that has the black WP logo on the white background).

Please reach out in any way you can to ask him to get rid of Sietsema so perhaps we can have a real food critic who doesn't pander to his friends at the most important paper in the city.

Sadly, Walter Nicholls passed away yesterday. Here's a tribute by Tim Carman. (If anyone know whether Walter was born in 1949 or 1950, I'd appreciate the information - please write me so I can put his birth year in the title.) Rest In Peace, comrade.
