...that killer of a punch line. "Even Archie Cox has his off days.") That's Archie Cox--the professor. A traditional crowd favorite is the parading of a few real-life Law School characters across the Pound Hall stage. This year it's Professor David Westall, as a dope-dealing buffoon in Bermuda shorts and sombrero and Dean of Students May Upton, who plays herself and saves Camp So-Sue-Me from villainy. They're both as stiff as boards but incite near pandemonium merely by showing that they too can behave foolishly in public...
...barely in their teens who whore, steal, shoot up and, too often, drop dead. Chic-pretty, lipsticked and long-haired, dressed in Annie Hall punk, negotiating puberty on stork legs, Christiane (Natja Brunkhorst) is a caricature of cover-girl womanhood. She comes home from a night of dance and dope, wipes the, blood off her face and goes to sleep with her kitten.

But the love wasn't strong enough to transform us, and carpenters repaired the CFIA, and now the President of The Crimson is a Park Avenue lawyer...
...Hector Babenco's Pixote (Portuguese slang for peewee) is an eleven-year-old São Paulo waif living his long days in a kind of Dotheboys Hall for juvenile offenders. In another school, pleasing the older boys might mean carrying the water bucket; here it involves stashing dope, spearheading escapes and, above all, keeping his big dark eyes open and his mouth shut. The film is canny enough to reveal the horrors of underage incarceration in Brazil before it turns Pixote and his comrades loose on a jag of snatching purses, rolling drunks, courting death. Thus it suggests...
