Talk:Paul Tsongas

message: "His name was mentioned briefly, in a not-to-be-forgotten tune, on The Simpsons."
So what's the tune? If it's not-to-be-forgotten, let's hear it. I must have forgotten it. --Feitclub 02:41, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)

message: What cancer?  It seems like there must have been a mention of cancer in an earlier revision of this article, but that was removed without this sentence being cleaned up.

replies: text: The cancer was non-Hodgkins lymphoma, mentioned earlier in the article.--HughGRex (talk) 14:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, OK.  I didn't read the article sequentially, and after I read the latter section, I searched for "cancer" with my browser and didn't find anything else.  It might be nice to mention cancer in the same sentence where lymphoma is mentioned, or maybe not.  If it were added, it would prevent others from making my mistake.  But I'm not sure I could get the wording right. 65.24.249.74 (talk) 04:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Anybody got anything on his folks? Most notable, and not so notable, people have the names of their folks listed or mentioned clearly. Anybody got anything on Paul's Parents?  Scott Anafas (talk) 15:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

message: In Orrin Hatch's autobiography he refers to the ERA hearings in which Tsongas was shown to be completely unprepared for serious questioning because he was so unprepared and fell apart (complained that he hadn't been given questions before-hand, to which Hatch replied something like, "We never give the questions before-hand.") Eventually Tsongas asked to be dismissed to catch a plane.
There is a political term created as a result of Tsongas' poor showing in the questioning, "Tsongased." As in, "I hope the Governor doesn't get 'Tsongased' if they bring up foreign investment in the debate tonight."
There should be at least some reference to this political term and the events which inspired the term.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadiandy (talk • contribs) 22:44, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

text: I noticed someone reverted the "Tsongased" paragraph and didn't bother to discuss it here. I have returned it. I don't see how perhaps his largest failure (which is immortalized by a political term being coined to him by name) is not relevant or noteworthy. The context (a key hearing on the ERA) is likewise of huge importance.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.180.103.183 (talk) 07:18, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I found it interesting that the article said his father "was a Greek immigrant who worked as a dry-cleaner.[1]"  Having lived in Lowell and being only three years younger than Paul Tsongas, my recollection was that Tsongas Dry Cleaners was a substantial business in Lowell.  A quick search of the web shows this New York Times article  - Hometown Recalls Paul Tsongas as Hero Who Inspired Renewal and Pride
He was the pillar of the Lowell community, said 71-year-old Arthur C. Anton, the owner of Anton's Cleaners and a friend of Mr. Tsongas's father, who also owned a dry cleaning business, as he left the Tsongas house this evening. He had an ability to get people to respond to his vision, his dreams. We're so proud of him for what he has done for us, and what he left us.
