...Bassett considers herself an expert in gym fads. She has taken orders from aerobic Step Nazis; she has pumped iron with the manly men. She ran like a rat on a treadmill and searched for Nirvana in yoga. Very little about her body changed over seven years, mostly because she seesawed from five-day-a-week workouts to none at all. Last November the Manhattan jewelry designer noticed a story about Pilates, a regimen based on stretching exercises. "I had no idea how to even pronounce it," says Bassett of her impulsive call to make an appointment...
...full that she had to take reservations and move to a bigger room. Still, she's skeptical about claims that the system is magical: "If that were the case, we'd close down our gyms and open Pilates studios." David Barton, Manhattan celebrity-gym owner and devoted pumper of iron, also offers Pilates classes, but he's a doubter too. All the talk of magically narrowing hips upsets him.

The high ceilings allow the bustle of happy diners free reign, red matte walls create an atmosphere that is almost too trendy for traditional Boston. The kitchen is open, accented by classy copper heating lamps. The wrought iron chandeliers, with yellow lanterns in place of bulbs, hang like copies of Aleksandr Rodchenko's Spatial Constructions. Apparently, Yo-Yo Ma et al are satisfied with Anago's sexy new image. However, with its arrival onto the scene, the prices have gone up and the quality of the food has gone down; Anago is trying...
Kelly's monument still stands just outside the iron fence of Harvard Yard where Straus Hall ends. His face keeps watch on all those who pass--the students, tourists, shopkeepers, punks, and derelicts who rush to descend into the tunnels he helped to build, hopping onto the Red Line or just-muttering to themselves while wandering aimlessly, looking for a place to urinate. With the recent erection of the "Magnetic Poetry Wall," some may believe that the spirit of Harvard Square has reached its nadir, particularly if one is reading the latest attempt at actual verse or simply another adolescent...
