...haven for procrastinators with fertile minds and rest-less bodies, it has a hazy, mystical quality that is as clusive and puzzling as the ellipses in "Welcome to...Tommy's." The most Dorfman figure Tommy's is second-hand bookseller Mel Dorfman. Sporting a white beard and a black beret, he can be seen reading and drinking coffee in the last booth at any hour of the day or night. Tommy's is his office, and he has commuted there for the past 20 years. Romana Vysatova says that her freshman year she was convinced that Dorfman was a police...
...Havana to help alleviate tensions between the U.S. and the Castro regime, Blackford begins a series of negotiations with Che. The Commandante is a sardonic figure who sometimes talks like William F. Buckley in fatigues and beret: "Disappointing . . . is a distinctively English, meiotic expression."

California wore black Zorro hats, and a delegate from New Jersey had an elephant head on his head-if that counts as a hat. One woman at the convention wore a straw skimmer with an elephant on top, which also wore a hat, an Uncle Sam. She was holding a Cabbage Patch doll, which wore another skimmer, on which stood another elephant...
...bearded man wearing camouflage army gear and a beret and with a knife strapped to his leg walked into the studios of CJRP, a Quebec City radio station, one morning last week. He handed a cassette tape to a reporter and told her, "To you, my name is Mr. D." A short time later, a man fitting Mr. D.'s description burst into the Quebec provincial legislature, called the National Assembly, firing a submachine gun as he went and shouting, "Où sont les députés? Jevais les tuer!" (Where are the legislators? I am going...
