...blocks southward to find the flagship of the Dunkin' Donuts fleet. At the JFK Street Dunkin' Donuts (a.k.a. the "Eliot Street Caf"--the restaurant is so ashamed of its begrimed brethren it assumes a stately pseudonym), diners munch Crullers at marble tables adorned with bright carnations, surrounded by wood-paneled walls.

(home of Coronet Films, which produced some 500 instructionals just in the '50s), and Lawrence, Kans. (Centron Films).
