Subject: Emily Rooney TV show


Last night, on WGBH TV, Emily Rooney had on Ben Bradlee, Jr., the
Deputy Managing Editor at The Boston Globe.  Emily asked him if readers
had read the "Men on the Verge" series.  Bradlee looked surprised by the
question and said a lot of people are interested in it.  He said, "you
wouldn't believe the number of mail we're getting from this."  Another
person said the last article in the series was the best and they should
write more about the fathers groups.  Bradlee said the idea for the 
series came from last year; though they knew these groups had been
around a while, they were now becoming a growing force in the
legislature. 

Emily showed a snip of Kate Zernike's interview at New England
Cable News.  Zernike said the groups were angry, but they were asking 
for reasonable legislative changes, "like they want to receive their
children's report cards."

Moral of the story:  if you haven't sent in your feedback about the
series, please do so.  E-mail:  men@globe.com; tel: 617-474-2525.


"A father for every child."
