...urge behind Hairy Men is human enough-sex. Two college boys and their girl friends borrow a Greenwich Village artist's studio for a weekend in hopes of satisfying that urge. They never do. The unalterable code of the bogus sex comedy forbids it: beds are props, not stops. It would be a joke to call Playwright Hunter's dialogue comic, though an attractive young cast paced by a wry comedienne named April Shawhan pumps stray laughs into the saggy script...

After standard deductions, the tax on the combined $150,000 would equal about $79,466, which means that Johnson, like many of his predecessors, does not necessarily have to depend on his salary for a living...
...afford the great waste that comes from the neglect of a single child." He evoked the memory of one of his great-grandfathers, declaring that because of low teacher salaries his ancestor, even though he was the third president of Baylor University, had suffered financial penury, had had to borrow $300 from Sam Houston "at 8% interest...
