...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.

...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."

Ulbricht has the distinction of being President Ford's portrait artist. I remember hearing that Betty Ford's portrait was sent back by the White House curator for being disproportionally larger than those of other first ladies...
...large canvases, stacking them up against a side wall when she finishes them, works as a waitress at Ferdinand's and lives up in Porter Square. Her studio isn't expensive, though, and she very much wants to be a full-time painter one day. She likes the Concord Building, too, because it is old and has a nice atmosphere. It's kind of gray, actually, and Warner has to admit that gray dominates her paintings. "It's the mood I like to paint in," she says. "I like to play colors against a neutral background," She hasn't sold...
