I had no idea that the Sword survived until 1980.....those days in the late 60's were difficult, but I wouldn't trade them for anything....we worked for almost nothing and were glad of it....I remember a tall black chef who's "work" I used to admire in the window of the Charles Street Steakhouse, about a half a block from the Sword....always had to settle for toast and coffee at Haskel's.....
