Sweet Eros, a play by Terrence McNally, is still running at Theater Two near Kendall Square. This is Cambridge's current brush with the avant garde, so if you go in for that kind of thing you might as well see this before the U.S. Attorney follows his Boston act and closes this one down.

Beyond question, the President's trip also serves as a tactic in his efforts to ride out Watergate: he hopes to convince the nation that he is the indispensable man to turn America's foes into friends. Henry Kissinger may try to brush the subject aside-"Foreign policy is not conducted in relation to Watergate" -but Nixon knows that a successful tour of the Middle East, splendidly covered by American television, will be a diplomatic extravaganza that will, at least temporarily, divert attention from the impeachment proceedings...

Do men and women who eat, study and brush their teeth together also tend to go to bed together? How does living in close proximity (which may range from neighboring rooms to adjacent wings) affect the way they feel about each other? With a survey of a small sampling of 96 Radcliffe girls, Psychiatrist Elizabeth Aub Reid gives some answers in the current American Journal of Psychiatry...
