...liberals, display a touching reticence about admitting social and economic differences. Women often introduce their maids as "Mrs. Parker"-but they rarely tell the maid, "Mary, meet my friend Georgia." Doormen, among others, usually use Mr. or Mrs. when addressing the tenants, but expect to be called "Frank" or "Reuben." If a tenant in a democratic effusion should suggest that they both use first names, the doorman is often vaguely offended-something in the relationship has been disrupted...

...about five different Harvard, Central and Inman Square restaurants. For lunch, the Square abounds in the $2.50-$3.50 meals: The Rendevous, with some fine Vietnamese cuisine downstairs (owned by Saigon's former ambassador to Burma), Bartley's and Buddy's Sirloin Pit for hamburgers, Nornie-B's for reuben and sandwich esoterica, the 1955-like Tommy's Lunch for more conventional sandwiches and pinball, and the Underdog, which restores one's faith in the possibilities of cheap lunches and great American hot dogs with various trimmings. Ferdinand's is surprisingly inexpensive and very high in quality also...
