Harvard Pizza--Plympton St. at Mt. Auburn. This is the median of pizzerias: Roman Hruska, former senator from Nebraska and author of a famous speech in defense of mediocrity, would love this place. It serves the standard American pizza--hot, cheesy and with a tasty crust--but it's nothing special. The folks behind the counter are affable though, and the place features a tiny television perched atop the Coke machine.

It is Providence-St. Mel High School, the West Side's remaining Roman Catholic secondary school and a fortress of civility ?and hope?for black teenagers...
...Burton cuts a fine figure as a priest. After playing a man of the cloth on a devilish mission in Exorcist II: The Heretic, Burton has once again put on his cleric's collar, in Absolution. This time he plays Father Goddard, an opinionated Jesuit priest at a Roman Catholic boys' school in England. Trouble arises when his favorite student tells him in confession that he has committed murder. To get away from such traumas, Burton likes to relax on the set by tossing a cricket ball over a practice net. Snapping the event was Elizabeth Taylor...
