BOSTON – The death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has conjured a flurry of media speculation regarding the political future of former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick, who currently works at a Boston-based private equity firm.
Patrick, a Democrat and friend of President Barack Obama, hasn't sent any signals of interest in returning to public life. Yet his name cropped up Sunday in published musings over who Obama might nominate to the nation's high court. Patrick served as the Justice Department's top civil rights lawyer for several years under President Bill Clinton.
BOSTON — The Boston Symphony Orchestra is rhapsodizing over winning the Grammy award for best orchestral performance Monday.
The symphony and musical director Andris Nelsons won the orchestral performance prize for "Shostakovich Under Stalin's Shadow," which features Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10 and the Passacaglia from "Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk." It was the orchestra's first recording in a new partnership with the Deutsche Grammophon label, and its seventh Grammy overall.
