...stuff of which B-movies are made: cardboard characters, dirty cops on the make, and lots of healthy, Type-O blood. Even those scenes that could have been meaningful, such as the portrayal of Rupert Murdoch and the rest of the scoop-hungry New York press corps, degenerate into near-slanderous caricatures, with only the Breslin-character retaining his integrity.

Pinocchio's--Eliot St. near Boylston St. Here it is fans, the best pizza in the Square. Somehow these guys do it just right every time...perfect crust, just the right combination of cheese and sauce, and always expertly cooked. You can't beat it, even if it is a little expensive, and often very crowded...

Auburn St. near Coolidge Trust. They draw big crowds and expect money at the end of their shows, which most people give without gruding since they are well worth it. Among this season's best in the center ring are The Shakespeare Bros., who do comedy, clowning, juggling and various other stunts, a magician who is nothing short of amazing and The Amazing Fantasy Jugglers...
