...kaleidoscope that gives you a black eye when you look through it. Recitals of 17th and 18th century romantic poetry are interspersed with luridly explicit readings from a porno catalogue. Every serious motion, every attempt at discourse, is interrupted by a song and dance, or a conga line, or a snippet of newsreel, or a blast of music, or a wisecrack from the audience...
...Bette Davis remarked, "men don't dance any more." That said, Bette spent most of the evening on the dance floor, explaining, "I just dance. I don't know what the dance is, but then I've never known." Jane Russell knew: she led a lurching conga line through Manhattan's Roseland Dance City. It was a benefit for Phoenix House, a New York drug rehabilitation center, which earned more than $35,000 from the affair. "It's thrilling to see that drug addiction has become so chic," said Comic Alan King. Then a celebrity...

Even United Artists has gotten itself together and instead of a lot of hype the promo man just handed me the album and said, "Here, you'll like this." He couldn...
...religion, believes in a good rite as much as in a good left. When one of his stable of 80 boxers fights an important match in Mexico City, the Kid dons a red kerchief, a string of Shango beads and pours cologne at the fighter's feet while conga drummers beat out a petition to the gods. A live chicken is always brought into the dressing room before the fight. Was there a fowl in the Forum? Rapidez, certain that Yankees will not understand, only gazes heavenward. But a friend is less reticent. "You can bet there...
