Christopher Lydon has been an unconventional voice in print and broadcast journalism for more than 30 years-covering presidential politics in the Washington bureau of the New York Times; anchoring the Ten O'Clock News on WGBH, public television in Boston; and as the founder and host of "The Connection" at WBUR since 1994. He "blends the expansiveness of the Renaissance thinker with a trademark Boston toughness," the Boston Globe observes. Born in Boston in 1940, he graduated from the Roxbury Latin School and Yale. Lydon ran for mayor of Boston in 1993 in a citizens' campaign for radical school reform.
