BEST PAIR OF LUNGS. Charmaine Neville's delightful scat-singing and good- humored blues, which had visitors dancing in the aisles at the Snug Harbor...
With 70 albums and 40 years in the business behind her, Cruz, seventyish, handsome, dark-skinned and wearing a snug, sequined fuchsia gown, gyrates for 90 minutes to the insistent beat of her razor-sharp backup band. At the refrain of her old favorite Canto a la Habana (Song to Havana) -- "Cuba que lindos son tus paisajes" (Cuba, what beautiful vistas you have) -- the bilingual crowd goes wild, even though most of those present have never seen Cuba and have little prospect of ever doing so.

But there is no charge for rent or utilities, and if the location is less than ideal -- beneath an overpass at the edge of a San Francisco parking lot -- at least the two snug, waterproof plywood structures are nestled among fragrant eucalyptus trees. Just 8 ft. long and 4 ft. wide, these so-called City Sleepers were designed by Architect Donald MacDonald to shelter the homeless men he spotted sleeping on the ground outside his new office. Said MacDonald: "I'm just trying...
