...went to Whitney's, on Boylston St., the Buildings and Grounds bar. This is another really fine place, in its own way. The television is visible from every seat in the bar, and the beer is only a quarter. This just may be the cheapest bar in Cambridge.

Yet the same show in the Jewish Museum in New York (now almost defunct as a place where serious modern art may regularly be seen) is inexplicably worth 300.
