...hens cooped north of my barn, students raised in safe, nurturing environments expect little danger from outside let alone within, and when trouble erupts--the automatic feeder capsizes or a gunfight develops outside Holyoke Center--behavior becomes chaotic. Hens explode from hen house, students run in circles or gawk at shooters (although one dropped into the gutter, remembering a VES 107 digression on curbstone height versus body shape).

Joe Gfaller, as the bass drum-playing missionary Arvide Abernathy, may not have...
Investigators have turned up a computerized list of the brothel's frequent customers, and the locals suspect many of their neighbors are on it. They say the township has lost its cloistered innocence. "This road is now notorious. People come to stop and gawk," sighed a homeowner as a car swung into her driveway, having done just that. "We're so used to hearing about these sordid things these days that nothing shocks us anymore," said Weinlein, the neighbor, "and it's sad." She cast her eyes around.
