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?
