A Tribute To Paul Newman at the Brattle Theatre Dec 3-Dec 7

See video

The Brattle Theatre in Harvard Square will be showing Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid and The Hustler

From The Brattle Theatre's Website:

Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid
(1969) dir George Roy Howard Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katherine Ross [110 min]
Arguably one of Paul Newman's greatest and most beloved roles, BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID tells the kind-of true story of the legendary bank robbers and the mutiny that forces them into a life on the lam, an exodus from the states, and a futile attempt at going straight, all of which ends, not surprisingly, in an epic gun battle worthy of such larger than life men. Newman and Redford are spot-on as Cassidy and Sundance, and masterfully portray the Western rogues that our mothers warned us not to love.

The Hustler
1961) dir Robert Rossen Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason, Piper Laurie [134 min] read more...

Historic Harvard Sq. newsstand to close

outoftown.jpg

I will be sad to see this Historic newsstand close. Located right outside the Harvard T Station. Out Of Town News has been a local favorite place for Cantabrigians to buy newspapers and magazines from all over the world since 1955.Cambridge City Officials are hoping to find another news dealer tenant for the shop, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
This story is another sad example of the demise of Harvard Square's culture and history.

The Boston Globe ran a heartbreaking interview with Sheldon Cohen, who founded Out Of Town News in 1955.

Former Vice President Al Gore will be coming to Harvard University on Wednesday October 22nd for the first Harvard University Celebration of Sustainability. The event marks the launch of Harvard's new greenhouse gas reduction effort and other environmental initiatives. Tickets are available to Harvard faculty,staff,and students who are allowed one guest each. As luck would have it,my temp agency just placed me as an Usher for this event,so I hope to be able to provide CCTV and the Cambridge community with some coverage of the celebration (with my shiny new Flip camera).
