Alex Beam Reads Letter From Nancy Shack

[Laurence Glavin]

If you go to Alex Beam's column at boston.com's Boston Globe columnists page, there's a link to his podcast that includes letters and e-mails that critique his writings. One of them was from Nancy Shack, disputing the fine point of whether a crossword puzzle is the product of the newspaper, or its puzzle-makers. If only he knew the other guise she uses!

Never occurred to you that there might be more than one person with that name?

Ther letter-writer used a very legalistic type of discourse; Howie's producer is a lawyer.

After all you ate yesterday, how can you even think of food? Oh, you don't mean sausage, but a link on the internets? This URL MAY take you to the threshhold of the podcast; after that it's up to your player:

Failing that, just go to boston.com; 'Today's Globe'; then locate 'Podcasts.'

Move to strike as non-responsive. Where is there a law that everyone named Nancy Shack has to be a lawyer, just because Howie Carr's producer is one?

OK, now here's my plan: one of these days, probably during the Max Robins segment, I'll call the Howie Carr show and say "hi, Nancy, I heard Alex Beam read your letter on his podcast, now may I speak to Max?" It'll be interesting to see what happens.

At least then we'll have some proof, instead of your assumption at the top of this thread.
