...underhanded simply because I am Black. White students who are not friendly with one another have business-like study groups, organizations, and conferences with each other and various professors--just because I am Black, does this mean I cannot? Does this mean I won't succeed unless I approach all white people hidden behind the veil of brotherly love and friendship like a conniving Sammy Davis Jr.?

...APPROACH seemed more consciously campy, and the actors really forced it (especially Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer, better known as the Howells). There was one good line--Ginger said the tidal wave sounded like a "permanent wave"--but I don't remember the old show having a lot of puns, either. The original was so infantile that at times it seemed to belong to a different universe, like an Ionesco play; on reflection one could almost call some of it "inspired."
