...important that they do so this time as well. Although the referendum is described as "in no way binding," those contemplating voting in it should make no mistake about its meaning: if a large turnout ratifies the new proposal, the Faculty Council and the Faculty will then enact it as the student's choice, and the CRR will acquire full legitimacy and become a permanent part of the University landscape...

Leonard Bernstein's music holds up best, and its peppy dissonances and romantic melodic line serve to season the overall inanity. Key Performers Bernadette Peters, Phyllis Newman, Donna McKechnie, Ron Husmann, Jess Richards and Remak Ramsay enact their roles with desperate valiance.

As the documentary ends, he gets on a motorcycle and rides out to roller derby school in San Francisco. Snell says he wants to "better" himself, but Derby has made it clear that success will mean no more than living a hollow dream. Jay Cocks
