...truly delicious home-made ice cream made on the premises of a one-store operation, Steve's Ice Cream, 191 Elm St. The atmosphere is simple and cheery. And Steve has a great gimmick: if you opt for the 50 cent rather than the 30 cent scoop you can have additions such as nuts, crushed heath bars and fruit kneaded in for 5 cents apiece. The store's growing popularity and extensive publicity, however, have resulted in nightmarishly long lines every evening. The New Yorker referred to Steve's as "the closest thing to night life in the Cambridge-Somerville...
...through this store, with at least 31 showcased at one time. Each month an absolutely new flavor is offered, which is sort of alarming if you think about it. Particularly memorable flavors are bubble gum and peanut butter and jelly. The cones are very small and though a single scoop is still 30 cents, the double and triple scoops have this month gone up to 55 and 75 cents respectively.

His liberalism in economic matters could prove attractive to voters, especially if Ford does poorly in the fight against inflation. But Jackson, who does his homework and is known as an "issues man," often overstresses his issues. Besides, he is dull. It is hard to see him overcoming either the Kennedy charisma...
...swarm of sugary platitudes that would lead us to believe that Shirley Temple has just been installed as our 38th president. Rather than reading about Gerald Ford's congressional record on civil rights, his position on welfare, his views on economics and foreign affairs, we get the scoop on Betty Ford's wardrobe, stories about Jerry's jut-jawed years as a college football player, vignettes of ex-neighbors in the president's home town, and inside reports on the crowds gathered in Lafayette Park across from the White House...
