Boston's Fading Ink: A Journalist's Path Through the Good Years of Hub Newspapers is the entertaining retrospective of award-winning writer-editor Dyke Hendrickson's four-decade career in newspapers. Hendrickson's unique journey included tenures in Hawaii, California, Mexico, New Orleans, Maine and finally, Boston. Few journalists have had such a varied and exciting career. As a sportswriter, he interviewed John McEnroe, Chris Evert, and Jimmy Connors. As a political columnist, he spent hours with Senators Ted Kennedy, George Mitchell, and Edmund Muskie. As a TV editor with Rupert Murdoch's Boston Herald, he wrote about the greatest productions of '80s, the Golden Era of TV. His coverage included the making of Lonesome Dove and Warm and Remembrance; stars he profiled were Audrey Hepburn, Diane Lane, and Robert Duval, among others. In this timely memoir, Hendrickson reflects upon developing a career in newspapers when the industry began losing money. He and his wife, educator Vicki Hendrickson, live in the seaside community of Newburyport, Massachusetts.
