Students are quick to impute vindictive motives to the deans. Frequently, however, discipline at Shaw seems to represent an honest effort to maintain Shaw's reputation in a largely Baptist community. Raleigh is a town where even the graffiti are pious--and Shaw cannot afford to make enemies...
...long bar, sea of dining tables and minuscule dance floor. Out back is another barroom, with four pool tables (the one covered in red felt is for ladies), barber chairs and church pews for the onlookers and oldtime coin machines to play while waiting. The men's-room graffiti are considered so choice that occasionally the waiters cordon the room off, let the girls dash in for a quick peek...
...Choice Graffiti. From the outside, the club could hardly be plainer. Except for a black awning, a red flag emblazoned with a monkey wrench, and a stream of Rolls-Royces arriving and departing, the grey, two-story building looks no different than it did in World War II, when it was a factory turning out bombsights.

...Graffiti & Sabotage. With the gradual rise in frustration, Castro's government has split into activist and conservative factions-but neither seems to know how to get anything done.

...Graffiti & Time Bombs. In China Is Near, Bellocchio abandons adolescent hostility for political disdain; the film makes fun of the full range of Italian leftist politics, from the filo-cinese (the sinophiles of the left) to the moderate Socialists, with their progressive pretensions and bourgeois attachments. China's political satire kicked up a furor in Italy. But U.S. audiences are likely to be more amused than annoyed by this story about a rich, bumbling professor who campaigns for local office as a Socialist, while his equally ridiculous Maoist brother harasses him and his colleagues with graffiti, time bombs...
