The filming of “The Lost Children of Tuam” in Tuam, Co. Galway. A scene from my story: “Their oversize hobnail boots beat a frantic rhythm as they hustle to their likely slap at the schoolhouse door.”

So very honored to talk about storytelling with the great journalist Line Vaaben at the Fortellingens Kraft 2025 conference in Bergen, Norway. I assured everyone that speaking truth to power continues in the United States.

Today is my 30th anniversary at The New York Times. The parade up Fifth Avenue begins at noon. It will feature Jumbo the elephant, Mayor Jimmy Walker, Mr. Met, Miss Rheingold, and various Tammany dignitaries assembled by Big Tim Sullivan. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Life comes at you funny sometimes. The Times ran a photo today of five Brooklyn Dodgers that included, at bottom right, my 8th-grade CYO coach, Jim Romano. His pro career was brief, but I revered him; always there to pat me on the back after another error. Here’s to a kind old ballplayer, long gone.
