...creme of contemporary American artists, writers, filmmakers, dancers and musicians to Parisian audiences. Over the years it has been a hangout for Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein and has served as host of performances by the likes of John Cage, Samuel Beckett, Philip Glass, Steve Lacy and Merce Cunningham.

It wasn't my idea; it comes from Denny Cunningham, a sharp-eyed user of my computer program. And it's this simple: if you have an AT&T Universal MasterCard, as 11 million of us do, and if you pay your balance in full each month, there's no interest charge on cash advances. Just a 2.5% service charge, with...
