...friendly booths, pitchers of beer, and a lively atmosphere. Pizzeria Uno (22 JFK St.): If you've never had deep-dish (Chicago-style)pizza, you're in for a treat. Don't let the small pies fool you: two slices are a meal and a good one at that, Pleasant, real restaurant atmosphere, with down-to-earth prices make Uno's pizza one of the most popular in the area. Pinnchio's (74 Winthrop St.). Mostly take-out, with fast service, Pinnochio's is inexpensive and that's as it should be. Three Aces (1613 Mass, Ave.): A staple...
Balley's (21 Brattle St.): The only really old fashioned ice cream parlor around, Bailey's is quaint and a pleasant surprise. Tall sundae glasses filled with such antiquated joys as "Mocha Lace."

From then on, the slightest touch triggered sharp pain. Tests showed that Beauregard 's ulnar nerve had been damaged at her left elbow. Her right elbow showed the same damage, although for some unknown reason she felt pain only on the left side. She has had three operations on the recalcitrant nerve, but at most these provided...
...council this year has produced several quite thoughtful essays, an enormously pleasant change from an environment of criticism," says Fox. The dean attributes this thoroughness and willingness to cooperate to two factors: One is the high caliber of this year's crop of councilors and the other is the flexible student-Faculty committees which are filled by the council and where most of the council's proposals get consideration. The old 26-member Committee on Housing and Undergraduate Life, which existed prior to the formation of the council in 1982, proved exceptionally unwieldy...
