The home of the bean and the cod is running out of the latter, a crisis that could ruin the state's fishermen, imperil its sacred symbol and take the \"cod\" out of \"scrod.\" Actually, New England seafood menus usually list not cod but \"scrod,\" a catchall term for whitefish (usually cod or haddock). It supposedly originated as an acronym for \"select catch retrieved on the day,\" because menus were printed before chefs got back from the fish market. The Parker House spells it \"schrod.\" Supposedly, an \"h\" indicates that the fish is haddock rather than cod, but John Murtha, general manager of the Omni Parker House, says the restaurant's schrod is almost always cod from the Georges Bank, east of the Gulf of Maine, which is not covered by the fishing ban.

There, he was miserable. But he'd saved [Jerry Schwartz]'s letter. \"In moments of doubt,\" he recalled, \"I'd re-read it to make sure I wasn't crazy -- 'I can be a writer.\"' Given his own modest background, [Terry Winter] says, \"I got a lot of mileage out of the attitude, 'I'll show you.' \" And he says the film's climactic scene, in which the student plays a transcendent solo, suggests Fletcher's methods may work. \"Jerry Schwartz's way is kinder,\" he says. \"It worked for me.\"

(The \"once again\" refers to the 2007 episode known as \"Spygate.\" The Patriots covertly videotaped New York Jets defensive coaches' signals in what the NFL said was violation of its rules.) A day after Boston was chosen as the U.S. bidder for 2024, Mayor Marty Walsh said the Games would not be rammed \"down people's throats,\" adding: \"I'd be willing to bet if you took a poll today, the majority of Bostonians are excited about this bid.\" The year 2024 is a long way off. But, [Dan Monti] says, \"Bostonians have earned the chance to celebrate themselves on the world stage.\" With the support of a popular mayor and an energized business community, he says, \"I doubt they'll pass it up.\"

It's been eight years since Pluto -- to the shock of many of us who'd memorized the nine planets in elementary school -- was officially demoted to \"dwarf planet.\" Pluto's size had been downgraded almost from the moment it was discovered. Once thought to have a mass roughly equal to Earth's, it actually is 0.2% of ours. It's unlike the \"terrestrial\" planets (Mercury to Mars) or the \"gas giants\" (Jupiter to Neptune). There's a Clyde Tombaugh Elementary School in Las Cruces. Four years ago, the school float in the annual Big Enchilada parade was Pluto-themed. Marchers chanted, \"We believe that Pluto is a planet!\"

\"How do you explain to them that I've been doing this for 18 years?\" she says. \"As a common sense person,\" she adds, \"I'm going, 'What am I doing wrong that I can't get my message across?\"' Newtown also exemplified what had worn her down. \"Every time there's a shooting, my relatives call -- 'Are you all right?\"' she says. \"They saw how I took every shooting personally. .. Every killing wore a little bit of me away.\" She pauses. \"It's just time.\" \"When her party leaders said, 'Don't talk guns,' she said, 'That's what I'm here for!' \" he recalls. \"She was a voice in a very, very bleak time.\"

In 1998, I came to town to do a story about the tradition. I got a phone call. \"I understand you're interested in the thousand-dollar donor,\" a man said. \"You're talking to him.\" The real donor says that almost no one suspects him: \"They ask me, 'Who do you think it is?' \" His affection for the Salvation Army involves his parents and a story I can't go into because it might blow his cover. The light's still there today. \"I get more pleasure out of this,\" says the donor nobody knows, \"than you can imagine.\"

\"It's a big day and it's nice to be part of that big day,\" she said. \"There's a reason there is an election day. If you could vote all year long, it wouldn't be as special.\" Former governor Charlie Crist, for whom King voted in 2006, \"didn't do a damned thing about the recession,\" said King, who lost four investment properties to foreclosure during the downturn. \"[Rick Scott]'s not the best, either, but he's the lesser of two evils.\" \"Everyone knows that the election was cooked. They know there was fraud,\" said [Yuri Rivas], 45, who became a U.S. citizen after moving to Tampa 17 years ago. \"That's why I always say I'm glad I'm here.\"

[Paul Sullins], the church sociologist, says that for some conservatives the problem starts at the top: \"Their feeling is, 'We're out here on the front lines in the culture wars -- fighting abortion, gay marriage. It seemed Benedict had our back, and [Francis George] doesn't.\" America's 78 million baptized Catholics form the nation's largest religious denomination. Some yearn for a simpler time -- like 2012. \"When the pope says, 'Don't judge,' I don't agree with that,\" says Mick O'Connell, a 68-year-old Catholic from Philadelphia standing outside St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. \"It's his job to judge right from wrong.\" In another interview, he said the church shouldn't speak so insistently about wedge issues like abortion and homosexuality: \"The church's pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently.\" He added: \"We have to find a new balance.\"

For decades, Americans dreamed of destroying the Berlin Wall. Now, 25 years after that symbol of communist tyranny came tumbling down, they're trying to save what's left of it. Concrete is durable; it's not eternal. Many of the Wall pieces that were brought to America in the 1990s were chained and dragged around, instead of being gently lifted. Also, the pieces on display today date from the '70s. When the Wall came down, they were already getting old. In fact, the East German government had been working on a plan it called \"Year 2000\" for a new-and-improved Wall. \"The Wall used to keep people apart. Now it's a place to come together,\" says Justinian Jampol , the museum's founder. \"It's a swords-to-plowshares kind of thing.\"
