Infant bands with no gold records, foreign groups on their first trip through L.A. and all teen-agers (punk rock) belong strictly to the C list, centered at a sticky-floored club called the Starwood. An unstated rule restricts them to the east end of the Strip until they mature or succeed...
...titles like "Heartbeat" or "Passing Time" or "Leaving You"--all pretty standard Bad Co. fare of fast-rocking numbers like their debut record's "Can't Get Enough" or Straightshooter "Feel Like Making Love" interspresed with slower ballads like "Seagull" or Run With the Pack's "Silver, Blue and Gold."

In this version the style is too cute and unoriginal to succeed. But there's an even more irksome side to the Segal works for Harvard readers. Segal's portrayal of Harvard is distorted, yet it is the one that millions of Americans apparently want to believe. The syndrome is a familiar one: Segal obviously fell head over heels in love with Harvard and all its money-encrusted trappings...
