"What is your favorite section of the newspaper?"

Hon. Janet Sanders – MA Superior Court
"My favorite section is the City/Regional section, where I read the crime stories first.  I then check out the film reviews and then (and only then) turn my attention to the front page."

Justin Keith – Greenberg Traurig LLP
"The New York Times Magazine on Sundays. I look forward to William Safire’s ‘On Language’ column every week. I can't count the times that I have bored my friends with lexicographical trivia learned from his column."

Daniel J. Dwyer – Hanify & King, P.C.
"The obituaries.  Far from being gloomy, the obituaries are usually concisely written stories of well-lived lives. They relate episodes of humor and quiet courage that are reported nowhere else in the paper. They are a unique form of local history. Sometimes they’re downright sad, as when describing an early death. But even those stories are a real gift, because they can spark our senses of compassion and gratitude, which are often dulled by the press of daily affairs and the need to make a buck."
