Live bands in the square play consistently at Jonathan Swift's on John F. Kennedy Street. Mostly deadhead rockers and blues musicians here. Doors stay open until 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. Passim, in the alley between the two halves of the Harvard Coop, doubles as a restaurant by day and features folk artists and acoustic guitarists by night. If you don't mind a short hike up Cambridge Street to Inman Square, you can hear live jazz and blues at the 1369 Club...

"I would never have believed I'd stay so long," she says, "but everyone here has been so nice." I'm luckier: on the fourth...
...lovemaster of Ziegfeld Follies girls, that Erie beat the "bangtails," the cards and the dice, and hobnobbed with big-time Broadway mobsters. On a hungover losing streak, Erie knows that he desperately needs another Hughie, and the question is whether the new night clerk, a mousy, laconic deadhead (Jack Dodson), can be conned into the role...
