On top of the loss of his chosen presidential candidate, Barack Obama, in the Massachusetts primaries (debate on the "Kennedy Lift" here), Senator Ted Kennedy now has to deal with more rumors about the Kennedy Clan. The Kennedy Clan has always been a magnet for rumors, some sordid, some not, some true, some not. In this case, whether or not it is true, the latest rumor will have a high-profile mouthpiece in the form of......

Vincent Bugliosi will read from Reclaiming History: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy on Tuesday, May 22, at 6:00 pm at the Brattle Theatre. Tickets are $5 and are available at Harvard Book Store. Vincent Bugliosi was the prosecutor in the Manson trials, the author of Helter Skelter, and the author of The Betrayal of America, on the mess that was the 2000 presidential election.

David Talbot will be reading from Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years at Brookline Booksmith tomorrow, May 8, at 7:00 pm. The Kennedy clan is well-trodden ground.

Bostonist is all about the advances in technology, but we're still suckers for old love letters sent via snail mail or telegram - particularly they include words from a legendary writer. The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum is releasing today a slew of letters that Ernest Hemingway wrote to screen and stage siren Marlene Dietrich over a 10-year span. The correspondence of this friendship, which paired literary work and Old Hollywood, will give......

After a sparse, lackadaisical August, the fall semester has arrived with a frenzied syllabus of film screenings: a slew of new documentaries, our favorite Terry Gilliam movies, a notoriously disorganized film festival, and a guest lecture from Bruce Campbell, chainsaw-wielder emeritus.

We weren't sure when Bank of America merged with Fleet and started splashing their patriotic colors about town. Green = Money / Money = Fleet...why, the concept was as visually obvious as pink+orange = Dunkin' Donuts. How would we react to this new (financial) suitor...play coy? Be gullibly trustworthy? Bostonist needed reassurance. We needed coddling, not to mention...free stuff. So during May, BofA is taking us out for an afternoon museum date, and we're......

Bostonist went down to the Loews Boston Common last night to catch that space odyssey film that everyone has been talking about. Yeah, that’s right Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Much to our dismay the show had been cancelled in lieu of the little known Lucas film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Honestly we really did go hoping to catch Hitchhiker, we even checked Fandango. Seeing as they still had a couple......
