...quickly realized that the company's 21 barnlike Automats and cafeterias were out of step with the times (the first was opened in 1904) and had often become a refuge for derelicts seeking a cheap, hot meal and oldsters wanting to drowse away an afternoon over coffee, cake and the newspaper. Guterman has jazzed up the operation with everything from rock concerts to waitresses on roller skates, and his approach so far has worked. The company, whose annual sales in 1972 totaled $16.9 million, last week reported a first-quarter operating profit of $73,970, its first black...

The movie is the world's most overdocumented Grand Guignol, the phantom of history's opera at bay in the foundations of the Fuhrer's falling theater...
...this sacred state I would not. Although every autumn the Harvard Cooperative Society passes out free survival kits including many items, I know that these girls must save themselves for their husbands if the species is to survive. Besides, there is the American proverb that you "cannot have your cake and eat it too." Also, "lips that touch liquor will never touch mine...
