Tommy's Lunch, 49 Mount Auburn St. Tommy Stefanian, the big guy with the cigar who'll tell you to get your feet off the tables, has been on that block across from Quincy House for nearly 20 years selling dogs and burgers and his big seller, the cheese-steak sub. Probably the biggest single redeeming feature of Tommy's is that it is open until 2 a.m. and they make up take-outs up to almost the last minute. Tommy serves a standard line of sandwiches and drinks, and occasionally some Greek specialities--the stuffed grape leaves...
...summer seller that people are still reading and discussing is a slim nonbook titled The Best. Compiled by two Columbia professors, Peter Passell and Leonard Ross, The Best is neither the Reader's Digest version of The Best and the Brightest nor a capsule Social Register. The Best is, at bottom-which is just three-quarters of an inch from the top-a shallow smattering of opinion and data based on a surfeit of snobbism and a poverty of research.

That August, the young artist-of whom an acquaintance testified that "a person more invariably gentle, kind, considerate and affectionate did not exist"-had tucked a spring-loaded knife into his pocket and gone for a walk in Cobham Park with his father, a retired chemist and seller of "fine, healthy leeches." Under the delusion that he was an avenging agent of the Egyptian god Osiris and his father a demonic envoy, Richard stabbed him. By the time Robert Dadd's gory corpse was found in the grass, the young man was on his way to Europe, planning...
