Bellingham football edged by Winthrop in Division 6 quarterfinals
BELLINGHAM — With the fingertips of Desmond Cassidy, the Bellingham High football team’s bid to reach the Final Four came to a heartbreaking end. Cassidy blocked an extra point in the second quarter and a potential go-ahead field goal late in the fourth as 12th-seeded Winthrop stunned No. 4 Bellingham, 7–6, in an MIAA Division 6 quarterfinal thriller on Friday night, November 13.

A nurses' strike is averted, while a lack of urgency prevails on Beacon Hill
With less than eight hours to spare, Brigham and Women's Hospital nurses and Mass General Brigham late Wednesday managed to avert a potentially historic open-ended strike.

Even as Gov. Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu stopped by the session and called on the sides to strike a deal, it seemed likely thousands of nurses would end up streaming through Longwood Medical Area by 7 a.m. Thursday. No additional talks were scheduled.
