...Leverett House Arts Society kicks off its fall season with Guys and Dolls, that "musical fable of Broadway" and one of the classic musicals of the American theater (the film doesn't begin to do it justice). The small stage might cramp the dances, but nothing can keep down Frank Burrows' beautiful score, ranging from the delicious "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat" to the exquisite "I'll Know." We think the witty book by Swerling and Burrows can hold its own, too. Guys and Dolls relates two love stories: that of Nathan Detroit, operator of the "oldest established...
...pick and choose among tenants. Increasingly, the choice is "adults only." Such restrictions suit older couples who have raised their children, like quiet and do not want to trip over roller skates on the landing, as well as many singles who feel the mere presence of children will cramp their swinging lifestyle.

That saves enough space to permit a surprisingly roomy interior in a relatively small car. Moreover, there is no transmission tunnel running back through the passenger cabin to cramp leg room. GM offers front-wheel drive on some Cadillac and large Oldsmobile Toronado models and is preparing a small front-wheel-drive car for the 1979 model year. Ford is importing the front-wheel-drive Fiesta from Europe, where it has proved highly successful with cost-conscious buyers...
