Then came one more summer break: after an editorial changeover at the
magazine, I started writing on books, TV and movies for the thriving
alternative weeklies (first The Real Paper in Cambridge, then The Boston
Phoenix). In the summer of 1976, Joe Morgenstern, now the
Pulitzer-prize-winning film critic for the Wall Street Journal, was in
Boston with his then-wife, Piper Laurie, who was acting in a film about
Margaret Sanger for PBS’ “Nova.” Unbeknownst to me, Joe started reading
my stuff. When, nearly two years later, editor Jim Bellows offered him
the movie critic slot at The Los Angeles Herald Examiner, Morgenstern
didn’t want it himself – but he thought this guy he’d read in Boston
just might. I flew to L.A. and I got the job.
