...anti-apartheid activity once again brought to the foreground the depth of the emotional feeling the divestiture issue raises on campus. More that 5000 students thronged the Yard to hear the Rev. Jesse I. Jackson denounce Harvard's ties to South Africa, and then some 75 staged an all-night vigil outside Massachusetts Hall.

Junkies, hookers, drag queens, derelicts, ganefs and hit men rub up against Joe (Danton Stone) and Darlene (Laurie Metcalf), a couple too amiable or dense to survive the Nighttown...
