...closest thing Harvard has to a campus pub is the two-year-old Picadilly Filly (123 Mt. Auburn St.). Crowded, not too large and not too bright, you'll find more people you know in this inexpensive pickup joint than you'll find in your dorm. If, on the other hand, you prefer a place that makes Jiffypop popcorn while you fill up with cheap beer at the bar, then visit the Bow and Arrow (Bow St. next to Baskin Robbins).

Witnesses said the gunmen, disguised as Salvadoran army regulars, concentrated their fire on the Marines and even hunted one down in a back room.

...real patriot." One day in 1979 he persuaded Debbie Aiken, then a talk-show host for a Norfolk radio station, into letting him discuss the Ku Klux Klan on her program. He claimed to be the Klan's state organizer. "He drove up to the station in a pickup truck with bodyguards," she recalls. One carried a shotgun.
