...closest thing Harvard has to a campus pub is the two-year-old Picadilly Filly (123 Mt. Auburn St.). Crowded, not too large and not too bright, you'll find more people you know in this inexpensive pickup joint than you'll find in your dorm. If, on the other hand, you prefer a place that makes Jiffypop popcorn while you fill up with cheap beer at the bar, then visit the Bow and Arrow (Bow St. next to Baskin Robbins).

Now they were home. As they walked into the bright sunlight, they seemed to give fresh affirmation to the familiar Fourth of July lyrics about the land of the free and the home of the brave...
...provincial small towns, where everyone knows everyone else's business and gossip is the preferred mode of entertainment. "There were no secrets in Krashnik," says the narrator of The Image. "People peered into keyholes and listened behind doors." Thus when the marriage between a village beauty and a bright yeshiva boy remains stubbornly unconsummated, the odd reason why cannot long escape becoming common knowledge. As before, Singer's tales of rural life reveal the complexities of so-called simple folk. In A Nest Egg for Paradise, a prosperous and pious Jew named Mendel falls victim, once, to the seductive appeals...
