...entertainment here is restricted to people over 21, but no one takes age any more seriously than the pair of kids in Liberty Square. "The World Famous 2 O'Clock Lounge," its facade emblazoned with the graceless silhouettes of dancing women that look like the figures on the Hillbilly Shak at the fair, boasts continual striptease. Women with names like Tiffany Taylor and Sandy Beach parade along an elevated runway inside a long oval bar with the fluid stride of Miss Americas--they just tend to jut their pelvises a little farther forward. Their bodies are shivered by strobe lighting...
...Black, hueman, woeman writes, "Ruth aint no Baby and her daddy would rather you not eat it--some things are just bad form," but there aren't any other allusions to graceless forms on the page, so upi might as well supply the rest yourself.

However, films that depended on snappy cross talk for their best effects-Casablanca and The Big Sleep, for example-survive nicely as snippets of sound. In any case it seems graceless to be anything but grateful for what amounts to a collage education (or reeducation) in film history. In the good old, bad old days, studios were often criticized for trying to imitate one another's successes, thereby creating tedious cycles. This time, however, the competition should be encouraged to follow Warner Brothers...
Harvard dominated play with edges on shots, 44-42, and ground balls, 40-36. The midfield worked well with the attack, especially in extra-man situations, but it was the graceless but effective antics of Conolly that spelled the difference...
