...sticky floors, drunk athletes and the tricks that want them. It’s so awesome, it will probably never close (495-9666; M-Th noon-1am, F-Sa noon-2am). Casablanca is a trendy bar located below the Brattle Theatre and decorated with a mural from the classic Orson Welles film (493-6617, M-Sa 10am-1am).

No one doubts that the show?s success was due to the commanding, seductive man standing on a platform above all the rest. "At the start of every broadcast," Herrmann recalled, "Orson was an unknown quantity. As he went along his mood would assert itself and the temperature would start to increase till the point of incandescence... He inspired us all - the musicians, the actors, the sound-effects men and the engineers. They?d all tell you they never worked on shows...
