Right now, the Square isn't exactly ghosttown USA. In fact, any football game at Harvard stadium on your basic autumnal Saturday brings people in from all over. The businessmen thrive on the crowds who cram into the various muffin/coffee shops, shoe stores, chic boutiques and bookstores. Although the next five years will be painful, the merchants also are looking forward to the Square's new facade...

While Respect can translate instantly into guest slots on the Hollywood Squares and Match Game '78, No Respect can make you a shoe salesman, or me. You had George Plimpton doing this up here last year. He gets Respect. He went to Harvard just like you. He plays a lot of golf. I don't play golf. I caddie for my mother-in-law.
