Through Sunday, November 8, if interested in helping the hungry and tasting some funky vegetables not often served at area dining halls, stop by a few local restaurants to partake in the Annual Collard Greens Festival. Some extra special collard greens are dished up for every lucky patron as part of the Food for Free initiative (a Cambridge based hunger relief organization committed to providing fresh food to nutritionally-vulnerable people in the community). Middle East Restaurant, 472 Mass. Ave., Central Square East Coast Grill, 1271 Cambridge St. Redbones Barbecue, 55 Chester St., Davis Square Asmara Restaurant, 739 Mass...
...made it through the pearly gates. Those who are, and have been canonized, are designated as saints. They have God's ear; they can intercede with him on behalf of the living: if you have lost your car keys, you can say a prayer to St. Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost objects. The saints are distinguished by their virtue and piety, and it is remarkable how few practitioners of the arts there are among them.

As if the fireplaces and finals clubs weren't appealing enough to every "sophisticate" on campus, we now have crepes served...
...Island, Kidnapped and many others still ring with celebration of childhood's fantasies. In this meticulous, satisfying biography, Michaelis captures Wyeth and his times vividly: the artist's gale-force energy and the immense gravity of the family circle from which he and his children (among them America's patron saint of Yankee nostalgia, Andrew) never pulled free. Though a few notes of adulation are too sonorous, they bespeak the kind of bigheartedness that N.C. would have admired. Bully, he'd say, echoing his friend Teddy Roosevelt. Bully for Michaelis' book...
