...townies, but maybe some of those people are freshmen who have come over from the nearby Yard--it's hard to tell the difference these days. It is routine to be carded, at least on weekends. This place provides live entertainment (loud), beer and more potent alcohol, and little else. There is no atmosphere, only noise. Somehow or another, the Oxford Ale House seems out of place in Cambridge, at least as out of place as Yale would be, and hopefully more...
They use a solvent, trichloroethylene, which appears to be harmless in normal use; but Dr. Richard D. Stewart and colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin have found that it does not mix with alcohol. After working for about three weeks with TCE, a man who stops at the corner saloon for a few beers or a couple of boilermakers develops vivid red blotches on the face. This degreaser's flush is so unsightly and persistent that men who wish to be rid of it have a hard choice: quit drinking or quit...
...lobes pierced in a Seattle jewelry store complained that the jeweler had used soiled instruments. A team of disease detectives headed by Dr. Carl J. Johnson investigated, fearing that ear piercing - like tattooing and mainlining heroin - might spread hepatitis. The jeweler said that he soaked his needles in 70% alcohol, but Johnson pointed out that this treatment does not kill the stubborn hepatitis virus.

With some excellent background work, the people at 369 have gone a long way to restoring the piece to its original condition. The music for the play is lost, but the show's producers have come up with a score that is purportedly true to its source. Weekend performances begin...
...lineage, but in the university he undergoes a conversion to the radical anti-Tsarist cause. He gives up his future, and for the rest of his life Rakhmetov dedicates himself to the cause of equality, reading constantly, building his strength through exercise, and maintaining an ascetic lifestyle which excludes alcohol and women. His complete self-denial is, admittedly, hard to believe. Still, somehow it is inspiring to think that we are capable, if need be, of similar sacrifices. Rakhmetov is not the first such idealistic hero in literature, nor the last. But the title, "What Is to Be Done?" invokes...
