...Eventually," says the San Francisco architect, "my first marijuana high turned into a laughing jag that was infectious. Each of us roared at the other's antics. We put on some phonograph records and were captured utterly by the music. Eventually we grew affectionate and made love. I have since taken marijuana many times around attractive girls with whom I shared no emotional relationship, and there was no sexual attraction to speak...
...observer was not exactly Ringo; it was some thing a good bit farther out. It was the wire, paint, and papier-mache mock-up that Scarfe had put together for last week's TIME cover. The rest of the boys - George, Paul and John - were crammed into the Jag's back seat, and Scarfe was delivering them to TIME'S office on New Bond Street. There they were set up just as they were photographed for the cover, and put on display in a main floor window. They have been stopping crowds ever since...
...hilarious, Oscar-winning The Music Box (1932), to the sad, tired, misconceived mishmash, Atoll K (1952). In all, the dim-witted duo made 90 films as a team, immortalizing such mannerisms as Ollie's blushing "tie twiddle" and exasperated slow burn and Stan's tearless, whimpering crying jag and flip-flopping walk (which he achieved by cutting the soles off his shoes).

...plot, the film boasts a CORE sampling of injustices that supposedly explain the color-conscious hero's heavy drinking and bad temper. Seldom is there any doubt that what makes Adam run is Sammy. Carpentered into the story line are all the predictable solo turns-a crying jag, a tender love episode, a scene in which he wields a broken bottle to make his agent grovel, and a reprise in which Davis crawls across a restaurant floor to shine Lawford's shoes. There is a semifinal glimpse of the doomed genius staggering through city streets, climaxed...
