...offerings by the Harvard Summer School Repertory, a company that is traditionally proficient and thoroughly professional. The Bertolt Brecht play is a modern classic, and a delight to see if the performance is sufficiently raunchy. Kurt Weill's music and Brecht lyrics give the show its real flavor; "The Ballad of Mack the Knife" is the tastiest number. The Shark bites Wednesday and Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Loeb Drama Center, 64 Brattle St. Wednesday tickets are $4.95, a Thursday seat costs $5.95. Season series tickets are available at the Loeb...

They are both living out parallel fantasies of glory, and Malick tells their story in the language of their secondhand dreams. He thus leaves himself open to accusations of condescension to his characters, but Badlands, which can cut sharply, also has a sort...
...Gerry plans to spend part of his time next week waiting for Tricky Dick to disappear by speaking to a respectful audience of Harvard Young Republicans. The concert should include some of his all-time imperialist hits, including "I Am a Simple Man," "I've Got a Name," "The Ballad of the Green Berets," and "I'm Sitting On Top of the World." You can be part of the demonstration that shows Ford that the people have a better idea, such as ending racism at home and cutting off aid to Thieu and to the military juntas in Greece...
