...swinging '60s. The challenge became learning the difference between love and sex because, fortunately for Friday, "once my looks arrived the opportunities for both multiplied." She trippingly recounts happy sexcapades she experienced while wearing a foam-green Pucci dress, and genuinely seems to wish that all women would permit themselves similarly satisfying sensations, foam-green Pucci or not.

We were therefore dismayed to hear last week that C'est Bon, a sandwich and salad restaurant at 110 Mt. Auburn St., had withdrawn its application for a 24-hour permit. While the Tasty's burgers and eggs can be tasty, C'est Bon reduces the grease factor for late-night eaters, offering Au Bon Pain-esque sandwiches and scones...
