Starting with the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794, Thomas moves through the great fire of 1845, the Civil War, the railroad riot of 1877, the Great Depression, two world wars, the civil rights movement and the devastating newspaper strike of 1992. [...] along the way there were ownership changes, mergers, a joint operating agreement, new names and editors and revamped content and designs as the newspapers struggled through turbulent times.

PBMF's newest venture is its Soul Cafe, a music and spoken-word event meant to diversify the city's social scene as well as aid the group's scholarship drive. This year PBMF awarded more than $5,000 to students. Soul Cafe replicates one of the few urban institutions that normally does draw a mixed bag of race and culture: the coffee-shop performance venue, a la The Shadow Lounge in East Liberty and Quiet Storm in Friendship. Diversity is a touchy subject even locally. Recently, when Carnegie Mellon University's student newspaper published a cartoon using the word "nigger" and a North Allegheny High School newspaper criticized affirmative-action policies, calling them "the new racism," PBMF officers clapped back. Michelle Massie, former PBMF President LaMont Jones and current President E...
There have been plenty of comparisons between this year's crazy Bruins-Canucks Stanley Cup final and the 1960 World Series won by the Pirates over the Yankees on the Bill Mazeroski home run. Gene Collier has an excellent look at the similarities in today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Yankees lost the series despite outscoring Pittsburgh, 55- 27, and winning games by scores of 16-3, 10-0 and 12-0. The Pirates' four wins saw two one-run games (including the 10-9 Game Seven clincher courtesy of Mazeroski), as well a game won by two runs and another won by three.

Give The New York Observer's Joe Conason credit for chronicling some of that history in a recent column, where he explained that Scaife and Heinz Kerry's first husband, the late Sen. H. John Heinz III, ran in the same ultra-rich circle of Pittsburgh. While Scaife skipped into the la-la land of conservative conspiracy theories, the late Sen. Heinz remained on terra firma. In the years since, Conason writes, Scaife's papers have been none too kind, even printing a non-bylined piece some years back that suggested Heinz Kerry's new husband John was enjoying a "very private" relationship with another woman. In mid-July Trib reporter Carl Prine wrote a piece suggesting Heinz Kerry took advantage of county tax laws to reap a big ill-deserved tax break. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the city's p...
