...twenty-eight a. m. on Wednesday, March 25, was a very special moment in the life of Bennett Beach and, at the same time, in the history of the MBTA. As I emerged from the subway exit and read the time on the top of the Waldorf Cafeteria building in Harvard Square, I realized with satisfaction that I was the new holder of the cherished MBTA endurance record-20:04 consecutive hours on the subways...

And in the talk stages, a Liza Minnelli...
Start with the Harvard Garden Grill which is right on the Square. Perhaps its proximity to the redoubtable and elegant Waldorf Cafeteria, where each entering customer is mechanically served with a numbered cardboard canape, has thrown it in a dimmer light than it deserves. The Grill, which is no Charley's Kitchen and won't always serve minors, has four things which make it, and all respectable American bars, substantial. It has a television above the bar. It has a lot of those cardboard placards above the mirror above the bar to which are stapled things like Bromo, Cheez...
