...various sidewalk stations in busy parts of Boston and Cambridge belong to. You'll be offered (for $2.50) one of their glossy, color-covered, large-print paperback books to help you understand more of what the Process is about and you may get an invitation to visit "The Cavern," a coffee-house in the basement of their roomy home at 46 Concord Avenue in Cambridge...
Hammock and Hatch. The selection is staggering. There is the Cave, a dim-gray cavern carpeted in cowhide, furnished with stalactites, stalagmites and a massive bed that stands 80 feet from the door.

Emotions are unhesitatingly suppressed, language conceals obscure truths. Daria outside, unable to cry over Mark's death, plunges...
...Chestnuts. Clues to the existence of the ancient Asian farmers first came to light in 1965 when Chester Gorman, a Hawaii graduate student, poked into a cavern called Spirit Cave by the Thais: it had served as home for untold generations of farmers and was filled with relics of their handiwork. In a thorough excavation the expedition has since found crude Stone Age tools and a number of ancient seeds-peas, beans, cucumbers and Chinese water chestnuts -of a size and type that indicate that they were grown...
