...have to be Unitarian to love the Nameless Coffeehouse. And you don't need divine guidance to find it, either. If you like folk music in a mellow setting, you're halfway there already. To get all the way there, head for the Old Unitarian Church in the Square, Friday and Saturday night between...
...first Robert Altman's new film looks like a baffling slice of metaphysical sci-fi-a sort of 2001 at Marienbad.

Americans continually leap into flaps and furors over the naming and renaming of things and places. It amounts to a national obsession, or craze, or fascination, or mania-name it what you will-and it seems to be getting livelier all the time...
