...herself invented it (Genesis 3:7). The late Gypsy Rose Lee listed it as one of her favorite indoor sports.

Today it is a $3 billion business, up from $1.3 billion just seven years ago, thanks to a happy combination of factors.

When not actually playing, Lakeway residents can watch closed-circuit television broadcasts of instructional films and professional matches. Or swim in a huge pool shaped like a tennis racket with strings painted across...
Some of you may have money. If you've got the money, Boston has many indoor, intimate music sports. The emphasis is always on music--Boston has very few night clubs. Besides the aforementioned coffeehouses, there are six spots worthy of special mention. The major jazz spots in Boston are Paul's Mall and the Jazz Workshop, located side by side at 733 Boylston St. about halfway between Auditorium and Copley on the Green Line. They feature middle ground jazz acts and some solo performers (by and large vocalists like Merry Clayton). If you're 21, or look...
