This week’s TV: Golden Globe apathy, ‘The Last of Us’ arrives, and all about ‘Velma’

After the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was exposed for its ethical lapses and lack of diversity, NBC canceled the Golden Globes telecast last year. But on Tuesday night, the network and Peacock are bringing back the show, kicking off awards season.

This undated screengrab issued by ITV on Friday Jan. 6, 2023 shows Britain's Prince Harry speaking during an interview with ITV's Tom Bradby for the programme Harry: The Interview.

Prince Harry says explosive book is a bid to ‘own my story’

In interviews broadcast Sunday, Harry accused members of the royal family of getting "into bed with the devil” to gain favorable tabloid coverage and said his family was “complicit” in his wife Meghan's “pain and suffering.”

Opinion

In 2002, more than 60 victims and family members hold signs in solidarity of clergy sexual abuse following a "Solidarity March," which started in the Boston Common and ended on the steps of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Maine is one of several states that have opened up new legal avenues for child sex abuse victims in recent years, but Massachusetts has fallen behind.

Child sex abuse is ‘soul murder.’ Massachusetts should lift the statute of limitations.

The Bay State has fallen behind neighboring states, which have opened up new legal avenues for victims to sue the institutions that harbored their abusers decades ago.

The only things Boston and London have in common? A consonant and two vowels.
