Beyond the Square

To HARVARD STUDENTS, Cambridge seems to consist of two distinct worlds--the Square, which is the real heart of this town, and the amorphous "out there." The worn wooden houses and the confusing politics that permeate them are little more the quaint setting for their college careers--background music at a long party.

But to Rick Samp, who has lived his whole life here, Cambridge is home. To Rick Shepro, it is a "movie mecca." To Dwight Cramer, it is beckoning bars.

No matter what Cambridge is to you, we hope you will give the town a closer look. It can be much more.
