...watch. "Everything's changed," says Paster. "Ever since the riots at the convention, the cops are very leary about talking to us. I've put in for early retirement next year. Things aren't like they used to be." "Yeah," says Spirko. "We used to cabaret around with the coppers, play handball with them and everything. Hell, when I was working on the Dillinger case, I drove the goddam car on a raid of one of his hideouts, packed a .38 and everything. Those were the sweet days." And he deals out a hand of solitaire...
...Blue Angel (1930) is a classic, but usually for misleading reasons. They see it as a masterpiece of German Expressionism, detailing the complete degradation and ultimate death of a bourgeois hero through his descent into the sex-and-violence filled world of the lower classes.

In Koza, the nearest large town to the Kadena base, there are numerous bars, such as the Night Queen, Cabaret Aloha and U.S. Club, and few nights go by without at least one fistfight involving overloaded Americans and Okinawans. Not quite as visible, but equally pervasive, is American control of Okinawan affairs. Except for Berlin, Okinawa stands as the last occupied territory of World...
...Cabaret--This musical about the degeneration of German society just before Hitler came to power is a heady production emblazoned in the tones of Kurt Weill and George Grosz. Most of the original cast is gone, but the Kander-Ebb score, the Boris Aaronson sets, and Harold Prince's direction--all miraculous--are still there. So is Lotte Lenya, who is as beautiful and gravel-voiced as ever. At the BROADWAY, Broadway at 53rd...
