He said that new tenants had also tried to obtain the buildings now rented by the Harvard Barber Shop and Hayes Bickford-who also rent through R. M. Bradley. But both businesses had been allowed to bid. Caragianes said. Hayes Bickford chose not to, and will leave its location before the end of summer.

A representative from R. M. Bradley usually visits the block once a week. "Last time he came by, he told me that they regret their hasty decision." Caragianes said a week ago. "I asked him if the new tenant would be willing to negotiate, but he said that it was too late for Bradley to change their minds," he added.

Caragianes believes that R. M. Bradley has received a lot of adverse reaction, prompting its supposed regrets.

Caragianes was taken to court for the second time when a plainclothed State Trooper came into Felix's in December, 1968, and bought a magazine. A few days later, he returned with a warrant, and then seized seven more magazines and arrested Caragianes.

"They never gave me a warning," Caragianes complained. "If they'd just told me about it, I'd have done something."

Judge Parker, who sentenced Caragianes to one year in jail and a $1600 fine, said that the magazine "had no value and were purely pruriency." Koulis, the employee, was fined $500. Caragianes said last week that he had gotten the first magazine from a Rhode Island distributor.

Caragianes said that his lawyer, Herbert S. Swartz '53, is waiting for a Supreme Court ruling on obscenity. If the defendants are found guilty again, they are subject to imprisonment of up to five years and fines of $500 per magazine.

Among the magazines seized were "Flesh and Phantasy," "Darling Film," and "Barricuda: untamed girls in action." They showed naked women in natural and unnatural positions.

Things were much easier in 1916, when Caragianes' father and uncle Felix opened the store. It was originally a shoeshine stand until they brought in newspapers and magazines.

In the early 1950's, after the death of Felix, Angelo was incorporated into the business with his father Bill, who was affectionately known as the President of Harvard Square. He, too, died several years later, and Angelo has been the sole proprietor for more than ten years.

Caragianes feels strongly about keeping the business in the family, and almost all of the employees, both now and in the past, have been relatives. As a boy, Angelo and his two brothers came in after school to sell papers and shine shoes until 9 p. m. The shoe shine shop, which is now attached to the rear of the store, was sold a number of years ago but retains the name "Felix's."

The Cambridge Historical Society is apparently interested in obtaining the storefront when Felix's moves cut. Caragianes said that another man had come in one day and had also expressed an interest in the storefront. It appears that the front of Gnomon Copy will be of more modern design, probably done in aluminum.

Felix's was one of the stores in Harvard Square which was not at all damaged by the two riots in the Squore this spring. Caragianes said he was never worried enough to consider boarding his windows.

"The first time, on their way to the Square, the demonstrators came in here and bought candy and cigarettes," he said. He expected trouble to start soon, so after they left, Caragianes closed for the night.

Felix's has also had other controversial customers. In 1959, when Cuban Premier Fidel Castro came to Harvard to speak, about six of his aides, dressed in green jump suits, went into Felix's to buy souvenirs-Harvard sweatshirts and stuffed animals, in particular.

"Everyone crowded around to see if one of them was Castro." Caragianes said. "They all sort of looked like him."

The biggest crowd he's ever seen in the Square was when former President Eisenhower was campaigning in 1956. He drove down Mass. Ave. until a crowd of enthusiastic supporters blocked his car near the kiosk. "The people just all of a sudden converged on the Square, and he had to give a speech before they'd let him through."

Caragianes generally comes into the store late in the morning and is there most of the day until closing time. He has other income from an apartment building he rents, but he said that it was not nearly enough to support him. "This is my livelihood." he said with a smile.
