...faithful never strayed -men like G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams, Arthur Schlesinger and Bobby Short, who made the bow tie their individual badge regardless of the moment's fashion. Now they have plenty of company. The bow tie is once again popular, and not only among middle-aged fellows who are trying to recapture the campus spirit of the 1930s...
...historian who deplores the "thinner life of things," Boorstin seems spare in his appraisal of the life of the spirit during the past century. His one bow to it is a somewhat ingenuous section on the American missionary impulse and what he calls "Samaritan diplomacy," though he does allude to the cultural imperialism that has often accompanied missionaries.

The Pamplona (on Bow St. next to the Underdog) reverberates with the undertones of the heavies, of intellectual riffraff at its most sincere and heart of heart having it outs. Everybody eavesdrops, it is licensed voyeurism. The Window Shop (56 Brattle St.) is an outdoor cafe that provides a front row bleacher seat as to who's who at the Casablanca...
