SynopsisWhat do Barack Obama, Samuel Beckett, Fidel Castro, Joan Baez, Conan O'Brien, Natalie Portman, and Dwight D. Eisenhower have in common? Their footsteps have all crossed paths in Harvard Square. This well-trod patch of Cambridge turf at the corner of the United States' most renowned university has long been a crossroads where poetry, retailing, politics, design, performance, and every other cultural endeavor intersect. From the square's tweedy aspect in the 1950s through its many transformations in the '60s, '70s, and beyond, author Mo Lotman gives a decade-by-decade account of Harvard Square's history, traditions, and lore. The bookstores, the billiard parlors, the barbershops, the booze and burger joints: they're all here. Based on interviews with more than a hundred of the square's denizens, illustrated with archival photographs, and graced with texts by John Updike, Bill McKibben, Governor Bill Weld, and others, Harvard Square brings "the smartest urban space in America" to vivid life., What do Barack Obama, Samuel Beckett, Fidel Castro, Joan Baez, Conan O'Brien, Natalie Portman, and Dwight D.

Fabulous pictures and stories.
Having grown up in Cambridge and living near Harvard Square this well written and illustrated book brought back many memories. The writer clearly did a lot research to be able to speak about events that were not always front page news. I had borrowed a copy from the library and knew I had to own one.
