Two sides of Kevin White
By adamg on Mon, 01/30/2012 - 1:32pm
The City of Boston Archives has posted some photos of Kevin White, including one of him talking with John Kenneth Galbraith at a birthday party for Arthur Fiedler in 1977 (as John Silber stares into the distance) and another of him shooting some pool sometime in the early 1970s.

Interesting historical photos
Yes, that certainly is John Silber inbetween White and Galbraith. Look at the tuxes in those days.
Is that John Silber in the middle?
Yes, it is.
Yes, that's ole Pickle puss in
the middle. Or as his minions use to insist we refer to him whenever we drove him; "DOCTOR Silber"!
Long John Silber
Recently at a brunch at a local restaurant in Eastie (shall remain nameless, as I don't need more people going there and increasing the wait) I heard a Texan drawl at a nearby table and turned to see the ex-Prez of my Alma Mater munching away with (presumably) his daughter and grandson. As he got up to leave taking his grandson by the arm frailly and creeping to the door, I heard him say to the kid "See how fast you move when you're 85."
They got into a pretty modest car and drove off -- no limo for the good Doctor on that weekend at least.
Overheard
Mayor White: Stand up when I talk to you.
Silber: I AM standing up.
On the mark, and priceless.
