March 22: From Puppet Show to Majestic Drama (Vol. 19, pp. 23-36)
Goethe died this day in 1832, so we get the opening to "Faust." It's not quite enough to get a feel for the play, but this legend of a philosopher selling his soul to Satan to gain unimagined power is a familiar tale to most readers.
I have been involved in broadcast, print and online media in New England for nearly three decades.
Currently, I am the chief editorial writer at the Brattleboro (Vt.) Reformer.
I have also been a regular contributor since 1996 to The American Reporter, the first online-only daily newspaper in America.
I am a 1983 graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and 1997 graduate of Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. I was also an infantry sergeant in the Massachusetts Army National Guard from 1981 until 1987.
