...live, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are together, the Beatles are the hottest thing going. Occasionally there are high spots--Andrew Kopkind's commentary and the Liberation News Service among them--but generally it's pretty innocuous stuff. WCOZ at 95.5 is no better, no worse. The least pretentious station around is WCAS at 740 AM, which mixes country, soft rock, and folk nicely, and goes easy...
During the next couple of months, keeping posted on what's happening in the area will be easy. The Real Paper and The Phoenix have followed a course of development similar to that of radio station WBCN--starting out as alternative, radical papers, they have become increasingly non-political, showy and slick.

And it's a shame too, because the Green Line has some of the best stations and routes in the system. The Copley Square station is probably the best looking from the outside, with its iron grillwork, blending well with the general atmosphere of the Square...
