Miss Conduct - Ripped-From-The-Headline 8/03/10

 Miss Conduct - Ripped-From-The-Headlines: On Beacon Hill, where have all the manners gone? Governor Deval Patrick and House Speaker Robert Deleo: hobnobbing over an expensive Italian dinner one week and then bashing each other’s good names in the press the next? When a lawmaker’s agenda is at stake, are all bets off? Do regular manners no longer apply? Robin Abrahams, a.k.a. Miss Conduct, Boston.com social etiquette blogger and columnist, joins us to dissect the etiquette – or lack thereof – behind this recent news story and others.

The Great Back Bay Blackout
After a smoky electrical transformer fire knocked out power to about 21,000 homes and businesses, sections of the neighborhood are getting back online. But problems are expected to persist into tonight. We’ll have the latest.

  Meg Mainzer-Cohen, president of the Back Bay Association
  Marcia Gregg, a Back Bay resident who (along with her family) lost power (and still doesn’t have it)
  David Jacobs, publisher and editor The Boston Courant, covers Back Bay, South End Beacon Hill and Fenway
Audio Available By 3pm

The Baffler Is Back
The self-described “journal that blunts the cutting edge” is back in print after a two-year hiatus. The Baffler’s latest issue of scathing media, political and cultural criticism hits newsstands tomorrow. And no cow is sacred. (Not even the one that pays its bills).

Guests:
  John Summers, editor of The Baffler
