In this Monday, Jan. 3, 2011 photo, Gov. Ed Rendell makes remarks during a news conference in Philadelphia. Former Pennsylvania Gov. Rendell had been invited to join Philadelphia Inquirer co-owner Lewis Katz on a doomed weekend trip to Boston. Rendell said Katz tried to persuade him on Friday, May 30, 2014, to attend an event at historian Doris Kearns Goodwin's home, but Rendell had another commitment. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)
