Two Boston Groups Bid For Globe?

Two local groups have submitted preliminary bids to buy the Boston Globe, the newspaper reported Friday. Boston Celtics co-owner Stephen Pagliuca and former ad man and Boston go-to guy Jack Connors lead one group, while Stephen Taylor, a former Globe executive and member of the family that used to own the Globe. heads the second group. The Pagliuca/Connors group takes a "civic approach" to ownership that includes involving a "nonprofit foundation to help fund and run the Globe." So, the Globe gets sold and still doesn't make money? Anyway, Mort Zuckerman, Chairman of Boston Properties Inc. and owner of the New York Daily News and U.S. News & World Report, is also rumored to be interested in buying the Globe.
