Joe Nocera stopped by campus the other day. And the fact that he is a B.U. alum turned the event into a mini celebration. It was, after all, the homecoming of our very own celebrity.
But Nocera is as removed from celebrity status as possible. It was so refreshing to meet a stellar journalist who doesn't take himself too seriously. He wasn't there to preach or explain his flawless journey to exaltation. He wasn't going to gab about how he made all the right moves or how he had nailed every journalistic practice in the book. It's not uncommon to find the worst of them with their heads full of fluff of this sort.
Nocera chatted, answered questions and made it seem so easy to get to where he is at. Keep talking Mr. Nocera, we're listening.
