Still another reliable comedienne is Alix Elias, a tubby hooker who adopts the handle "Hot Coffee," since she serves steaming cups of the brew to her clients as a special bonus. Elias's humor stems from her lack of timing; at one point, she interrupts a heated confrontation between the bigamist trucker and his wives to announce her purchase of Vienna Roast beans...
...first Loeb Mainstage production of the semester is the quintessential late '60s musical, with the large added bonus of a brilliant score by Stephen Sondheim. Company is the story of a single man among his married friends, and his shifting feelings about the value of marriage. Paris Barclay's crew is a bit uneven, but all the leads can sing, which is all that a musical really requires.

To qualify, they have to put their names on a weekly sign-up sheet hanging beneath a poster that reads: SMOKERS ARE O.K. NON-SMOKERS...
...strikers, who earn $121 a week after four years service, demanded a 20% pay hike that would, the union claims, boost their salaries to the current average wage for Britain's industrial workers plus a 10% bonus for hazardous duty. (New York City firemen with similar experience make $385 a week.) But to combat Britain's inflation rate, now 15.6% annually, Callaghan's Labor government has set a 10% ceiling on all union pay increases over the next year...
