...despite its flair for conspicuous consumption, F&M has struggled with "customer circulation," says marketing director Alison Jordan. Many shoppers visit only during Christmas and Easter, and most never venture beyond the food hall on the ground floor. So to mark its 300th birthday this year, F&M embarked on a nearly $50 million renovation to highlight the store's other luxurious departments. Its new crowning glory is a glass-domed central atrium, which spirals up from the expanded fresh-food stalls on the lower-ground level to the women's clothing and beauty stands on the second floor.

Whether you realize it or not, social networking is something you do every day.

...frustrations of a writer seeking to put his passion into words were all captured yesterday in the opening night of three usually neglected works by Irish playwright Samuel Beckett. The three plays, originally produced in April 2006 to commemorate what would have been Beckett’s 100th birthday, were part of the inaugural series for the New College Theatre. Robert Scanlan, a professor of theater who knew Beckett personally, directed the plays, and Martin Pearlman, founder and conductor of the Boston Baroque, composed the music. All of Beckett’s plays—including the three on stage...
