...Moll brought a slice of pizazz to the countrified, 186-year-old alma mater of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Moll persuaded Bowdoin to allow applicants to skip the College Board exams, an attention-getting move, and he issued a new college brochure splashed with photos of sunsets, lobster pots and the Maine seacoast. Results during Moll's eight years at Bowdoin, applications increased from...
...music, as interpreted by Simon, has none of the passionate devotion expected from an artist viewing his own work. When his first concert appearance in the movie is over, he receives a mediocre reception from a crowd that seconds later reacts riotously to the B-52s' performance of "Rock Lobster." The camera is positioned to show us the new wave group performing wildly onstage and Simon listening sulkily backstage, with the back wall of the stage dividing the screen.

Similarly, he endorses the best lobster as coming from Maine, the best mushrooms as Pennsylvanian and the best mules as Missouri's. The best veal, according to Luongo, comes from Delt Blue Provimi Inc., in Watertown, Wis.; the best steaks from Murray's in Minneapolis (both are available by mail). The best jelly beans...
