...Beatles became heroes to a nation of screaming little girls--little girls who pledged their hearts, proffered their bodies, and fainted in droves. "God, when you're 12, there's nothing else," remembers Melinda Rosenweig. "They were the first cute guys I was aware of--it was sort of an introduction to sex. They were cute men in suits, and they didn't look like your father." At hundreds of airports police erected barricades to protect the idols from those throbbing hearts; the Beatles staged daring escapes from their hotel rooms in refrigerated meat wagons.

The performance costs...
...well see this before the U.S. Attorney follows his Boston act and closes this one down. It's playing with Michael McClure's The Beard, depicting the sexual confrontation between Billy the Kid and Jean Harlow. This could have been a lot better, but it's sort of cute. For the next two nights the performances begin at 8. Sunday's show begins at 7. There's a student rush...
