Michael Sullivan, who first came to Harvard Square in 1969, has spent the last 11 years working at the Bread and Jams day-time drop-in shelter in the Old Baptist Church. He describes a peaceful coexistence between pitsters and students--except for those times when Harvard students, drunk and stumbling home from a party or a bar, make the off-hand derogatory statement, or perhaps are out-and-out rude.

...bacon sandwich is an Aussie favorite. Damper bread is a source of native pride. McDonald's managed to insult both. The official restaurant of the 2000 Games took exception to an Olympic Park restaurant's putting an egg-and-bacon damper sandwich on its menu. Calling it an Egg McMuffin rip-off, the double-arched bully demanded that the homegrown dish be banned. A compromise was struck; the offending sandwich will be served on hot-dog buns. Corporate muscle, 1; indigenous cuisine...
