...that thinking has made him a journeyman catcher with a decade-long career bouncing through the minors like a Baltimore chop on Astroturf. Now Crash must baby-sit Nuke into maturity, teach him to connive a little in the game's moral geometry. "Strikeouts are boring. They're fascist," Crash tells Nuke. "Throw some ground balls; it's more democratic." With professors like Crash and Annie, Nuke can't miss vaulting to the bigs. Then maybe the grownups can get together and discuss what Crash believes in: "long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last for three days...
...Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) were constantly trying to recruit co-op residents. John Crooks, master during the early '70s, said he had visited the co-op on the day of Walt Disney's death and found a celebration. Co-op residents explained that Disney had been a fascist.

Named in the telegram as the source of the order: Lieut. Kurt Waldheim, then a supply officer in the German army and now the beleaguered President of Austria...
...perverse pleasure. Where Anything Goes laughs off the financial turbulence of the early 1930s -- its plot involves a stock-market mistake that engenders a fortune -- Cabaret dwells on the ugliness brought out by that era's economic panic. Neighbors turn into enemies. A hymnlike melody subtly alters into a fascist anthem. Leering and strutting and cackling over all is Joel Grey, reprising the performance that won him a Tony and an Oscar, as the emcee luring visitors into a nightclub -- and a nation -- succumbing to political insanity. At these moments, Cabaret seems as daring and relevant as a stage musical...
