...contrast, "caution" to some U.S. companies simply means figuring out clever new bribery schemes that are harder to spot. One way is to join up with a foreign company that is not prohibited from making the necessary payments, and let it do the dirty work instead...
...Albin from the bad-guy agents so long as they help them obtain some mysterious microfilm. Molinaro treats us to more than 90 minutes of car chases, dart guns, and hair-breadth close calls, using nearly every cliche of every spy-adventure film ever made--not to create clever satiric effect, but to provide hoakey chills and thrills. As the corpses pile up, La Cage II becomes less exciting than almost surrealistically weird: watching Tognazzi and Serrault dodge bullets and burly hitmen is like seeing Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball in a bad James Bond movie...
Sure, why not? Not every piece--in fact, very few--describes occurrences so mundane as a CHUL meeting or the ever-popular event described by the clever Crimson headline "Long Weekend Arrives: Some Leave, Others Stay." There are some serious and insightful articles in here which are no less legitimate because they appeared in a "college" newspaper. John G.

Unfortunately, the album serves to highlight the importance of the Krok's appearance, mannerisms and clever choreography to their overall effect. The harsh scrutiny of vinyl embellishes imperfections in the Kroks's non-professional voices, flaws that go unnoticed in the excitement of a live performance. For example, the group's version of "Blue Moon," an elaborately arranged scat number that never fails in concert, seems...
