...hasty facelift. This overnight assemblage of restaurants, lounges and shops-some in abandoned buildings-bears the name Bourbon Street North. More than cosmetics, however, may be needed to equal the blowsy je ne sais quoi of New Orleans, site of the last Super Sunday. Super Bowl, after all, is Oktoberfest, Mardi Gras and May Day charged up into a massive electronic catharsis: the American version of bread and circuitry. Pontiac just might not be up to that...

Vellucci proposed renaming Boylston St. in honor of slain president John F. Kennedy '40. In part, his move was a reaction to rumors that Harvard was downplaying the name of the late president in relation to the government school. But still, his reasoning was sound; Kennedy was a politician much beloved in this city; he represented it in Congress for six years; he went to school here, and lived here, and now along Boylston St. there...
