...Soul, Ben Arnold, Face To Face, Kristin Hersh and Fishbone. A $20 wristband will let you club-hop through Boston's top clubs for both Friday and Saturday: we suggest My Favorite Relative (Bill's Bar), Joel Cage (Club Passim), Sheila Divine (Upstairs at the Middle East) and Hummer (TT The Bear's) on Friday; and Brass Monkeys (Greek American Political Club), Tommy Castro (House of Blues), Buck Dewey Big Band (Lizard Lounge) and Sara Wheeler (The Paradise) on Saturday. Alternatively, you can just pay the cover for one club and stay there, but where's the fun in that...

Doctors can't write a prescription for that--yet. STEVE STOVER...
Even though the experiment seemed to show that the underpinning of TT, the manipulation of human energy fields, is bunk, you said TT nonetheless "sometimes works." Certainly there are anecdotal reports of its effectiveness, just as there are reports that Elvis is still among us. But anecdote is not evidence, and there are simply no credible data to support its continued use. A. CAREY CARPENTER San Marcos, Calif...
