This stinging, slap-happy cartoon of contemporary race relations is one of the standout tunes on one of the year's standout albums, Minimum Wage Rock & Roll, by a brash new Los Angeles band called, with appropriate bemusement, the Bus Boys. Since the group consists of five blacks and one chicano drummer, its excursions through the realms of brotherhood come as naturally as a walk around the block, and are sometimes just as risky. KKK announces a fearless ambition guaranteed to turn both sides of the color line to a common, angry red: "I am bigger than a nigger...
BOTH BRIAN MCCUE and Grace Shohet have displayed considerable talent over the last few years in Harvard theater but have emerged with somewhat limited personae--McCue as a clever, charming but extremely mannered performer who shines in musicals and farces, Shohet as a technically competent but brash actress whose specialty is destructive bitchiness.

The former U.S. and Brazilian soccer star plays a former Trinidadian soccer star imprisoned in a German P.O.W. camp along with Michael Caine, who, as luck would have it, played on the British national team, Sylvester Stallone, a brash American captain with promise as a goalie, and other prisoners of unquestionable talent-the cast includes 18 pro players. Pelé's biggest problem occurs off the set, where he is constantly mobbed by rabid soccer fans. In the place Hungarians call Hollywood on the Danube, the "Black Pearl...
