MY BOSS GETS QUOTED BY THE GLOBE: While I was dreaming of a newspaper career as a sheltered suburban teen in Connecticut, Mark Godes was writing himself a teen advice column for the Boston Herald and getting nationwide TV exposure for it. Then he gave it all up. Now, at 35, he wants it all back. Only times have changed. And so has the newspaper bidness. Alex Beam checks in with the guy for this story in the Boston Globe, quoting my boss, features editor Linda Kincaid, as to one of many reasons why Godes won't be regaining his columnist gig anytime soon.
