...successfully than some of their Korean War predecessors, perhaps because most of them, before the fall, were trained pilots and college-educated military career men. Most agree that their time of torture and isolation taught them much about self-reliance and the importance of thinking small. Navy Lieut. (j.g.) Joe Mobley, 36, a thin, balding man who greeted his friends on the first morning of the reunion wearing reverse-heel Earth Shoes and dungarees, still acutely remembers what seem like almost microscopic moments of prisoner austerity. "Your senses become keener," he explains. "You can feel the effect of an aspirin...
Contrary to Richard Schickel's unflattering appraisal of Joe Brooks' If Ever I See You Again [June 5], I found the movie to be tender, touching and entertaining. I feel that Mr. Brooks is a "multitalented," not "multiambitious," creator who has proved himself with this film.

Oh yeah, he also served pizza, and would, on request, launch into half-English, half-Italian tirades about anything and nothing. His pizza was something less than great--greasy, soggy...
...about two years ago, Joe revved up his hearse and cruised on to new adventures. He left his legacy, though, and so his little pizzeria, conveniently situated above Felix's Shoe Repair, still serves the worst pizza in town to a dwindling number of loyalists. If you want to eat in solitude, try Joe's but if you want to eat good pizza, go somewhere else. The subs, however, are pretty good, particularly the veal parmigiana. But the place just isn't the same without Joe...
