BOSTON – Demanding "full and complete transparency" from officials representing the city's bid to land the 2024 Summer Olympics, Boston City Councilor Tito Jackson on Monday filed an order for a subpoena with the city clerk's office seeking the complete version of Boston 2024's 1.0 bid proposal.

Jackson filed his subpoena in response to a letter he received Friday from Boston 2024 CEO Richard Davey declining Jackson's informal request for information.
On Sunday, July 19, Sir Neville Marriner conducted the Boston Symphony Orchestra with pianist Paul Lewis at the Tanglewood Music Center, now celebrating its 75th season. The program featured two Mozart symphonies and Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto.
The venerable 91-year-old conductor is the Life President of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, the chamber ensemble he founded in 1958. Unlike many contemporary conductors who are heavy on affectation and light on substance, Marriner has the understated command and unforced grace of a seasoned maestro. Despite the sweltering heat, the audience was treated to a refreshing and effervescent performance.
