  2. Cruise Port Spotlight: Boston

    A frequent stop and embarkation port on New England/Canada and Bermuda voyages as well as starting point of some seasonal Caribbean cruises and an occasional stop on trans-Atlantic voyages, Boston has seen a dramatic increase in cruise business in recent years. The city welcomed its one-millionth cruise passenger in 2011 and launched an $11 million renovation to the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal including a new third floor with 60,000-square feet of space for passenger processing at Cruiseport Boston in 2010. Passenger-friendly Cruiseport Boston is only a couple of miles from the city’s downtown with plentiful taxis when ships are in port and a trolley shuttle that links the waterfront to such must-sees as the colonial-style Faneuil Hall Marketplace on 1, Faneuil Hall Square, Quincy Market, a historic building on 4, South Market Street with great shops and peddler carts galore; the New England Aquarium with more than 70 exhibits with aquatic animals from around the world at Central Wharf, near Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market; and Copley Square in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood with diverse architectural styles including such buildings as Boston’s Trinity Church, the Boston Public Library and the John Hancock buildings including a tower by noted Chinese architect I.M. Pei. Back Bay also boasts such landmarks as the Boston Public Garden; Boston Common, America’s oldest public park; and the Cheers Pub, “where everybody knows your name.”

    A ruthlessly self-aware political wife reconsidering her choices. A sensual socialite facing down an oppressive age with informed good humor.

  8. Biblioracle: Book reviews don't compute

    In a previous column I discussed the practice of "sockpuppetry," where authors create fake online personas to pump up the ratings of their own books and trash those of their rivals. Recently, two additional stories have come to my attention that cast further doubt on the integrity of online customer reviews.

  9. Grammar: A myriad of uses

    The playwright Noel Coward once said, "People are wrong when they say opera is not what it used to be. It is what it used to be. That is what's wrong with it."
