Dearth of Suckers. Actually, the Block's heyday has long passed. While miniskirted hookers are still out in force, most of the bars and strip joints are half empty. There are fewer suckers to buy endless rounds of watered-down drinks (at $2.50 a shot) for B-girls who deliver only promises, promises. Such famed attractions as Ronnie Bell and Her Twin Liberty Bells, who work the Villanova Show Bar, and 6-ft. 6-in. Kitty, a few doors down at Club Troc, have trouble piling up bar tabs. Some club owners complain that today's movies, which...

Actually, the possibilities are endless. One girl applying to a West Coast college claimed a blue belt in Aikido. Equally imaginative bids for seeming extra-curricularly exotic have deluged the colleges with alleged harpsichord builders, guinea-pig breeders, inventors of electronic nutcrackers, boy falconers, girls with pet iguanas, adolescent TV producers and fund-raisers for Biafra. One boy wrote starkly, "I have seared the streets," a sign of the new fad for ghetto toil, which is edging out mental-hospital work as an earnest of social conscience.

...really want to do," says Agent Arnold Pinkney, "is take these athletes and teach them how to spin their first big buck." When spun by Jim Hand Enterprises, the variations are seemingly endless. Hand's boys, traveling in his fleet of new Jaguars and Cadillacs, are constantly on the move. Deacon Jones is taking dancing lessons in preparation for his Las Vegas nightclub act. There are the Lance Alworth dry-cleaning shops. The Donny Anderson boys' camp. The Rick Barry syndicated sports column. And, named according to regional fan interest, the Lance Alworth, Donny Anderson and Rick Barry...

...LAST Ingmar Bergman has stopped posing questions and begun taking them for granted. Shame is probably his greatest film--and it is the first to aim exclusively below the neck. We had expected "A Film from Ingmar Bergman" on the subject of war to be filled with long dialogues, endless questioning; in our mind's eye we can see a low-key closeup of Liv Ullman or Max von Sydow asking, "Why is this happening to us?
