For the former, see James "Whitey " Bulger, the elusive South Boston mob boss sought fruitlessly in a series of killings; for the latter, try his brother, William, former president of the state Senate, accused but never convicted of corrupt activities. Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr tells their story in his book, The Brothers Bulger:How They Terrorized and Corrupted Boston for a Quarter Century, and he'll talk about it during a signing at Barnes & Noble Booksellers in the Cape Cod Mall April 2 at 2 p.m. Do us a favor and ask Howie why they don't make newspaper columnists like George Frazier anymore. |3 j^^Hlil^^^fc^ I2i xlikl
