It's been quite a few years since the Celebrity Series presented a speaker series (technically, not since the 1930s) so there is excitment in the ranks, to say the least. The novelty of a speaker series alone is exciting, but for an opener we have liberal firebrand Frank Rich. Everyone at the Celebrity Series remembers Mr. Rich as "The Butcher of Broadway" and we eagerly read his dissections on and of The Great White Way. But Rich and Rich's column have changed. Bryan Curtis writes about what subjects Frank Rich is covering these days (if you don't already know) in his article, The Butcher of the Beltway for Slate.com.
Frank Rich appears on the 2005-2006 Bank of America Celebrity Series on Sunday, February 12 at 3pm in Boston's John Hancock Hall. NPR hosts Terry Gross and Ira Glass follow Rich on April 9 at Symphony Hall and novelist Alexander McCall Smith appears April 20 at John Hancock Hall.
