...permanent residents, living in Cambridge with Harvard and MIT is somewhat like sleeping between two elephants--whenever they sprawl their Cambridge bedfellows suffer. It is said there was once a competition between Harvard and MIT to be the first to swallow Central Square. MIT won. Cambridge citizens are losing. They pay higher property taxes as more land goes to tax-free universities, and higher rents as less land is available for housing. Harvard's new Administration has promised to be more careful where it tramples, to avoid displacing more low-income tenants. After buying the Hotel Continental earlier this year...

...look it, you can drink, but that's expensive. The cover charge at Paul's varies from $2-$5.50, depending on the night. Paul's shares owners, addresses, cover charges, drink prices, and phone numbers, 267-1300, with the Jazz Workshop. This week, at the Workshop, you can see Swallow, one of the town's better jazz-rock bands (they have a new album just out). Cheech and Chong are at Paul...
