Great Neil review, not-so-great photo
First of all, a great job to Craig S. Semon on the review of the Neil Young concert at the DCU Center the weekend of Dec. 13. The article was articulate, well researched and thorough in its descriptions of the proceedings.

N.E. Patriots best, no matter what
I love the New England Patriots, and yes, Matt Cassel did step into this role, and he did have big shoes to fill and he did a great job.

Unitil’s performance is rightly under fire
Unitil has rightly come under fire for its management of the ice storm disaster. As one among thousands of Unitil customers who lost power over a frustrating 13-day period, I would like to note the actions of Rep.-elect Jennifer Benson.

Mexican versions of Coca-Cola and Pepsi have found a niche market in the United States both with Hispanic and non-Hispanic customers primarily because they use cane sugar as a sweetener.
