...greasy unkempt locks are analogous, I suppose, to those horrible acid-washed ensembles donned by Timberlake et al or the mop-tops of the Beatles. Still, the demographics of Wednesday’s audience—fans ranging from aggravating teeny-boppers to aspiring yuppie hipsters to visor-sporting frat boys—suggest that the Strokes’ widespread appreciation extends beyond their boyish good looks...

...across America, radio listeners whose knuckles scrape the floor are slumping even lower. The nationally syndicated Opie & Anthony Show, starring frat-boy jokers ANTHONY CUMIA and GREGG HUGHES, was yanked off the air last week. Its home station, New York City's WNEW-FM, announced the decision after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) began an inquiry provoked in part by an incident in which, complainants alleged, the hosts encouraged a tourist couple to have sex in Manhattan's St. Patrick's Cathedral and broadcast the event live.

Metzger's films, which were thoughtfully reviewed by Vincent Canby in the New York Times and Schickel in Life, never quite acquired the Meyer cachet - perhaps because his pictures needed to be viewed in seriousness and solitude, while Meyer's vigorous farce-melodramas could simultaneously...

...nights later at 1 a.m., a water balloon launched from a frat house across the street shattered the window of another camper’s room. Fortunately no one was injured, but we had to move the kids to a different room on a different floor until the window could be repaired—in the middle of the night. Campus police were powerless because the frat house was situated just outside the border of University property. Again my patience surprised...
