...fool with while you inhale the atmosphere of delicious imported wickedness. In an atmosphere of such exuberant freedom the most prosaic Radcliffe student can entertain titillating existentialist opinions, even though the only feeling of anxiety she may ever have is to wonder if she can pay for all the cafe au lait she has drunk, and her only feeling of dread, that provoked by the approaches of the young man sitting across from her. The Harvard community now supports two of these reasonable facsimilies. Like (and, of course, pointedly unlike) the corner soda fountain, the coffee houses, with their exotically...
...Rick's Cafe Americain, whose proprietor wears a white dinner jacket, speaks with a faint lisp, and drinks a great deal when unhappy, sports an odd assortment of minor characters; they are bit parts, from which the actors have squeezed everything. Fat Sidney Greenstreet, with fez, is Farrari, the jovial "leader of all illegal activities in Casablanca." Peter Lorre is a funny, intense worm who sells blackmarket visas to refugees stranded in the unoccupied French city; the producers could afford to lead him off screaming after fifteen minutes: but in that time he created a lasting figure...
...started in Spring, 1956, when the magazine tried to print two cartoons that the administration found objectionable. One depicted a prostitute with the caption "I got my job through the Brooklyn College Placement Office."

Acting under his "emergency powers," the Dean impounded Landscapes, calling the cartoons "salacious" and "libelous." The magazine was reprinted without the cartoons and distributed in that form...
Kollwitz's mounrful cries of "Bread," "Unemployed" or "Killed in Action" cease to have meaning. The same brooding line is repeated again and again only to appear arbitrary, in expression of similarly histrionics. Beckmann creates and maintains his impact with far greatr lucidity. "The People, Cafe" and "Society, 1915," coherently relate a tale of human confusion and shock, a state of mind which, fortunately, does not engulf the artist despite his intensity of conviction...
...show was in fact a zingy half-hour, thickly populated with stage and cafe society folk, and run by Director Alan Handley at a pace so breathless that even Winchell's self-importance often had little time to come through. Many less entertaining variety shows have managed to survive. But last week, when Winchell's latest Trendex slumped from his original 21.1 to 15.9, his sponsors, Toni and Old Gold, decided that the "little people" were thinning out. They notified him that they would drop his show when his option comes up in five weeks. Cost of tuning...
