...teams, Providence, UMass-Amherst, and Holy Cross, they have kept rivalries with the weaker junior college and community college teams that marked their first two schedules. This year's schedule also includes an away contest against the Deer Island House of Correction, and an unprecedented home game against the Concord Prison inmate team to be played on January...
...Society is also a pseudonym. As you drive out Concord Avenue towards Belmont Center, the middle of three innocuously drab brick buildings is labeled "American Opinion, 395 Concord Ave.," with a single large American flag dangling over the front door. Inside, the only open doors are to the right, in a sea of fake wood paneling. The doors lead into a bookstore where sits the receptionist, Sally Riley, amidst a welter of reprints, newsletters, magazines, bumper stickers, and books with screaming titles, blood dripping dramatically down the covers, chains a prominent motif, and "Conspiracy" figuring in almost every title. During...
...right elbow; my tour guide explained later that the 76-year-old Welch can only sleep two hours at a time, "it's not just physical, you know, there's just so much to do and watch for."

In Belmont, the Society occupies three buildings--it owns 395 Concord Avenue, and a sympathetic real estate agency provided two others. At the warehouse, wholesale book, and shipping division at 778 Pleasant Street, between a drugstore and a gas station, there were canyons of books in cardboard boxes (unfortunate because the covers are the best parts), and two fifty-foot tables in the basement where...
Sadat's supersalesman first learned the art of getting along in Alexandria, where he grew up during the Lawrence Durrell era of cosmopolitan concord among the city's Arabs, Jews and Europeans. As a graduate student at Harvard in the 1950s, he debated with a number of young Jews who are now helping run Israel. "They were simply human beings with whom I happened to disagree," he says. Bashir has not always got along with everybody, however. He temporarily lost his government scholarship to Harvard for criticizing the nascent Nasser government, and he was fired from a foreign...
