Then the final indignity. His chartered airplane, replete with chandelier and elegant trappings from its days in the service of Mexico's President Luis Echeverria, had been sold without warning.

This last, a posh spot often featuring such acts as Dick Doherty and the Majority, and the Shittons isn't much unless you're a devoted Swinging Single--the bowling alley, however, is a different story. It's not the best in Boston, but it's the best near Harvard, and it has 48 lanes, candlepins and tenpins, and a great many pinball machines. The best times to bowl there is on Friday nights...
