...Wildly excited, two men dashed out of a side door of Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory ... and ducked into the Eagle, a pub where generations of Cambridge scientists have met to gossip about experiments and celebrate triumphs. Over drinks, James D. Watson, then 24, and Francis Crick, 36, talked excitedly, Crick's booming voice damping out conversations among other Eagle patrons. When friends stopped to ask what the commotion was all about, Crick did not mince words. 'We,' he announced exultantly, 'have discovered the secret of life!'

Now you have every excuse to do the same...
...hometown has to offer in this election, just as Arkansas and Texas contributed their stories of Slick Willie and Dubya. The conversation about Kerry in the restaurants and backyards around Boston is laced with disappointment in a man who has always preferred the national stage to the neighborhood pub. "People here like talkers. You go to any bar in the city, and it's full of b.s. artists," says Joe Keohane, editor of the Weekly Dig, an alternative newspaper in Boston. "I don't think he ever mastered the political dialect." Many people say they voted for Kerry...
