Altars, healing stones, belief in the "power of intention," and positive references to witchery are among the approaches to success in football that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady cited during a charity appearance Thursday.
Brady was asked a question that got more of an answer than people in the crowd were expecting while getting his playoff beard shaved off by a professional barber during a charity event at the Gillette office in South Boston on Thursday, February 7, four days after the Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl with Brady at quarterback. (And 25 days after Gillette released its controversial ad "We Believe: The Best Men Can Be.)"
An 80-year-old regional dance for high school girls and their dates in southwestern Connecticut will start allowing all-male same-sex couples next year and will remove the requirement that boys wear a tuxedo.
The annual County Assembly Charity Ball — known as "the Counties" — has traditionally been for high school junior girls and their escorts. That has traditionally meant that a girl has gone to the dance with a boy.
