...The One-Minute Pundit

What bugs me about our current spate of civic pride is that it could go on for eight or nine years. Boston became insufferable after two or three seasons in several sports. Any city that wills itself into megalomania after consecutive sports championships becomes an ass to the world. And Boston is a great city, with lots for legitimate pride, although little since Kennedy (except for high-tech, and that mostly in its burbs). Philadelphia has less reason than Boston to be insufferable. Let's remember that even amidst these immortal triumphs.
