Since she bought the business, Fuller has worked with Anne O'Neill, who has been at the shop there since its founding in 1938. O'Neill wears a white uniform to work every day, although Fuller has no set outfit and is less prim. They both like the Concord Building. "I love Harvard Square," Fuller says. "There's lots of activity, lots of young people. This is an old building, very comfortable. It's been fairly well taken care...

...safe to assume that Louisa May Alcott would have approved of this new screen version of Huckleberry Finn. "If Mr. Clemens cannot think of something better to tell our pure-minded lads and lasses," she said about his raffish novel, "he had better stop writing." Seeming to take the prim spirit of her outrage for their shaping force, the people involved with this movie have sanitized Huck's language and turned him into a nearly perfect little gent...
