'Awestruck envy'
This is a heartwarming story about a pair of immigrant twins getting into college. But I have this strong feeling the story would never have been written, let alone receive such prominent placement, if the students had gotten into Bowdoin and Tufts, not Brown and Harvard. ... The 'awestruck envy' also resides deep within a certain newsroom, I strongly suspect. ... All right, all right. My disclosure. ... I'm looking at the calendar and see Memorial Day is around the corner. Do you know what that means? It's front-page Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and the Rich Really Are Different time! ...
Update -- It's also time to haul out the 'Nantucket Page 1 Watch' feature of Hub Blog. Not to be confused with the Cereals at Ivy League Schools Tracker. ... Always, always, always remember: 'The big question is why.'
Update II -- What's this? A story about Wentworth grads and construction jobs? We don't need no stinkin' stories about Wentworth grads and construction jobs. .... (But what if they're building homes on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket?-ed. Well, that's different.)
