When I first flipped through the BC High yearbook, I was shocked to discover that one of Tom Mulcahy’s classmates was William Bulger—one of the most famous/notorious politicians in Massachusetts history. I called his home and left a voicemail. Shortly thereafter, while I was already halfway through another interview, Bulger returned my call. I’m still pretty shocked he was willing to talk to me. He was lovely and generous with his time, and it was easy to forget what a cutthroat person I was dealing with. Completely surreal to interview a guy who’d been played in a movie by Benedict Cumberbatch.
