...pizzas are the free-form, thin-crust, eclectic-ingredient pies one often finds around these days, somewhat reminiscent of the offerings at the late Brew Moon (Church Street restaurant déjà vu). The nine options at Cambridge, 1 are built from dough and sauce made daily on the premises and the charcoal grilling really does impart a fantastic crunch and smoky flavor. My only general quibble would be that the tomato sauce seems too prepared, with not enough of the pure taste of a fresh tomato allowed to shine through. Especially as summer dawns, less is often more...
...Successful and high-achieving men so often want a woman who will be home at 5 [p.m.], who will be there to rub backs or give them dinner,” she said. “In high-altitude careers, where the air is thin, professionals need breathing space. For successful men it is so much easier to find that air by marrying women who will provide them with TLC.

Bergstein departs from Bruegel in that he invests his work with an incisive, visceral intensity, but his smaller canvases seem only preparatory studies...
...clock nears 8 along the Eastern Seaboard on Tuesday night, a strange new phenomenon takes place in U.S. urban life. Business falls off in many a nightclub, theater-ticket sales are light, neighborhood movie audiences thin. Some late-hour shopkeepers close up for the night. In Manhattan, diners at Lindy's gulp their after-dinner coffee and call for their checks. On big-city bar rails, there is hardly room for another foot. For the next hour, wherever a signal from an NBC transmitter can be picked out of the air, a large part of the population has its eyes...
