...article in yesterday's Crimson quoted Frank Costello, an aide to Boston Mayor Raymond L. Flynn, as denying that the mayor is considering a proposal for a $75 tax on students. "Someone wrote something they heard that was not true," he said, referring to an article in Thursday's Boston Globe on the proposal...
...CLASSIC hero-villain conflict of the movie is, however, somewhat problematic. Morris Day and his sidekick--ex-roadie, ex-football-player Jerome Benton--are hilarious as a self-caricaturingly "sharp" twosome, complete with Abbott and Costello routines. They enjoy dressing up, abusing women--in one of the first scenes they dump a troublesome one into a trash can--and being generally vicious. The Kid spends his time dressing up (though in spike-heeled white boots rather than two-tone shoes), mistreating women, and being generally misunderstood and abusive. Quite a contrast...
...Garden. Bands, if they touch base here at all, will do it either at the Worcester Centrum or the Providence Civic Center, or both. You can reach both by bus, or drive for an hour through scenic high wayland.

He was the most intriguing of the Saturday Night troupe even as he was demolishing...
Until last year, Harold Costello lived in a two-room shack he had built on 15 acres of wooded land he owns in East Lebanon, Me. A former carpenter making do on $400 a month in disability benefits, he went without electricity and plumbing for four years. But last month Costello's lucky numbers were drawn in the Massachusetts Megabucks lottery. His prize: more than $2 million in annual installments of $113,000 for 20 years. Costello's first purchases were two "double-wide" mobile homes (cost: $30,000 each furnished), one to replace the Maine shack...
