...Hamburg, Germany, in the early 1960s with a band whose front line is Lennon-McCartney-Harrison because Lennon, in his wisdom, had decided that he would put at risk his dominance to build the strongest group. The way to think of those early Beatles is as one of the grittiest, nastiest, best punk bands ever, getting tighter by the night during sets that might last eight hours. "We were frothing at the mouth," Harrison remembered in The Beatles Anthology, a scrapbook of photos and reminiscences published last year, "because we had all these hours to play and the club owners...
Here’s an idea for the Crimson Key as they lead herds of prospective students on the campus tour this fall: Tell them everything about Harvard, down to the grittiest, most ugly detail. Certainly this would make the tour informative, but the Crimson Key would also weed out the most dreamy-eyed of applicants, who later become the students cantankerously wondering why the world’s richest university doesn’t serve them breakfast...

Even with its superstar center, Erik Anderson, out of the lineup with an ankle sprain, the Saints had firepower to spare--especially considering the Punch & Judy show that had been the Crimson's defense as of late...

The filmmakers have combined these materials so that each hourlong program is coherent and well-paced, and the entire...
...treatment of women. For the most part they are portrayed as victims-either of Bridges' noncommittal ways or of nasty evildoers from whom they need Y-chromosome-enhanced protection. Prostitutes in danger turn up on both shows, looking not at all as they do on the streets of the grittiest precincts in urban America, or even as they do on NYPD Blue. Waifish and fresh-faced, they resemble well-educated publishing assistants saving up for a smart twin...
