...LOEB spared nothing in its efforts to make the production interesting. The set, a bedroom with a fourposter in the center, never changes except in decor, but director Judith Haskell set it on a turntable to give the audience something to think about. The problem, however, is that all too often it ends up looking like a revolving tableau rather than a play. The effect is hardly likely to be either effective or surprising through two full acts. Haskell gives us one interesting moment, when the two actors make themselves up for old age onstage, but for the rest, well...
...Washington, the initials D.C, stand for Disco Capital, say the night stalkers. The most opulent place in town is Pisces, where the decor runs to old R.K.O. set designs, 1,000-gal. shark-filled aquariums, 18-ft. laser-lit cascades and tropical flora. Members include Liz Taylor, Gregory Peck and Alejandro Orfila, secretary-general of the Organization of American States, who last October auctioned off three rare 24-in.-high falabella ponies on the dance floor. The newest In place is The Apple Tree. The interior resembles a cross between a carpenter's loft and a berserk florist...
Cronin's, on Mt. Auburn St. near the Treadway Motor Inn, is our personal favorite.

The early '50s decor, including wooden booths, makes this a pleasant, relaxed place to down some chillies with friends...
Farther up the block, on Mass Ave, you'll find the local Big Pink--the Hong Kong Restaurant, or simply "the Kong." Although the food found in the first floor violates Geneva convention provisions regarding biological warfare, the bar upstairs has wonderfully tacky decor, moderately-priced good drinks, and a jukebox featuring Frank Sinatra singing "My Way." Local high school toughs take over on weekends, but during the week, Dino DiLaurentiis is right--"People gonna love Kong...
...next hangar, a smaller one, when an efficient Teterboro policeman drove up, a stocky black-leather trooper who politely said that the blue executive had summoned him and that he would arrest us if we didn't quickly disappear. We retreated to Manny's Cockpit Restaurant, with its bicentennial decor, to dry off and plan strategy and punish ourselves with thoughts of condominiums and never-more-than-ten-minutes-of-rain-a-day. Two dozen yards off, Bruce was pumping gas into the Miami-bound Lear jet, and we couldn't look for its pilot without risking a night...
