...cultural diversions are the solution. Students, their IDs, and five bucks meet chamber music and a flower-filled courtyard at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (The Fenway, Boston; 566-1401; T or No. 39 bus: Museum of Fine Arts; Thursday, Friday and Sunday afternoons and evenings; lectures, gallery and garden tours and jazz series are also offered; museum open Tuesday to Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Pretentious, yes, but these soundscapes will soothe the mind, especially since there is no final exam...
...anyone. Day and night jaunts to Olmstead's stunning Arnold Arboretum, 265 acres of landscaped beauty with a sweeping view of Boston; a hike through the nine parks of the renowned Emerald Necklace; and a "Waterways Boston Tour" through Jamaica Pond, the Back Bay Fens and downtown secret garden. Perhaps the most notorious, the Freedom Trail leads through Boston's bastions of revolutionary fervor and architectural masterpieces-it's a history lesson in and of itself (Boston Park Rangers, 1010 Mass. Ave.; 635-7383; tours leave from various sites in the city and a schedule is available at the information...

Come the Music Hall's "gala reopening" on Oct. 4, the people who operate the place--Cablevision Systems, through its Madison Square Garden subsidiary--will be hoping that today's judges will be a bit less cranky. After a seven-month restoration that stripped it to its bones and then rebuilt it virtually from ruins, the grand old theater will look strikingly unfamiliar to nearly anyone who has been there before. It will look the way it did 67 years...
Orey dramatizes rather than sermonizes. Assuming the Risk, a first-rate exercise of narrative journalism, assembles an eccentric cast of characters. Don Barrett, for example, was a garden-variety white racist as a student at the University of Mississippi ("I do feel that the Negro is inherently unequal," he told a New York Times interviewer in 1963, around the time James Meredith was integrating Ole Miss). In the fullness of time, he became a born-again Christian and crusading lawyer who took up the cause of Nathan Horton, a black carpenter and contractor who smoked two packs of Pall Malls...
