Globe executive vice president
Al Larkin is the highest-ranking holdover from the old Taylor era. "He is an adviser, a behind-the-scenes presence, a fixer," writes
Seth Gitell. "And he's someone smart observers will be watching as this latest
tumultuous chapter unfolds at the Globe." Former Globe editor
Matt Storin adds: "He's a survivor because he understands power, he understands tribal forces. He has a good memory."
