...able to lean over and sample your neighboring table’s appetizers, sometimes it’s nice to get away from “cozy” restaurants with room for only groups of three or less. When the occasion calls for a larger, more group-friendly space, it’s best to escape the confines of Harvard Square. Here are a few suggestions for larger parties...
Love comes at you lean and fast, like a pulp paperback. A woman named L handles the opening exposition in the foreboding tones of Rod Serling introducing a Twilight Zone episode. Picture, if you will, a broken-down beach town on a quietly nonspecific stretch of the East Coast.

...might be tempted to describe Lee Bontecou as elfin. There's no denying that she's small and lean. And when she tilts forward to tell you, "I'm shy," you can take it to the bank. At 72 she has the same Dutch-boy haircut that she had four decades ago, when she was dynamiting a place for herself in the New York art world. Back then she must have reminded people of the writer Carson McCullers, who would have seemed pixieish only until you read...
