Uncertainty for North Carolina same-sex couples after gay marriage vote<\/a><\/strong>

Increasing diversity redefining America’s Jewry<\/a><\/strong>

THE BOSTON GLOBE<\/h4>\n

NOTE: It’s come to my attention that some of the links here lead directly to a paywall. The Boston Globe, where I spent almost four years writing hundreds of articles, recently decided to put many of their articles in an archive that charges a fee for access. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m diligently trying to find a workaround for this so that my articles can be seen online – as either links or PDF files. Until then, if you don’t have a Globe subscription or are unwilling to pay the fee, many of the articles can be accessed through article databases such as LexisNexis or Factiva. My apologies for the inconvenience! – Stephanie<\/p>\n
