Scusset Beach and Reservation. This is a state park, and one of the easiest beaches to commute to. It's about an hour's ride from Boston down route 3. which is about as far as the aforementioned North Shore beaches. Scusset beach is next to a campground, too, and the site is ideal for overnight affairs. The camping fee is $5 per couple, but the camping lot is nothing more pleasing than a shrubby parking lot. Nice view of an electric power plant across the Cape Cod Canal, though...
...that accompanies Falk's gravel-toned bass. Together these actors form the funniest comic team since Zero Mostel met Gene Wilder in Brooks' The Producers. Not only should the in-laws reunite as soon as possible, but they should also bring Co-Star Libertini back for another ride.

In the whole country there were only two post offices, three miles of asphalt road, one 16-bed hospital and three primary schools. Air conditioning was unknown, even though the temperature frequently reaches 130° in summer...
...ride back to Johnston Gate, I tried to make sense of what I had just experienced. So this was how it felt to be an influential alumnus of Harvard College, to rub elbows with a Winthrop, a Chase, a titan of industry or a baron of the financial world. Soon I would be entering their world and their value system; the thought made me feel uncomfortable for a moment. It was a feeling similar to the one I had when the driver couldn't let the Quad students on the bus and out of the rain...
