...hints to get you started. The Marxist intellectual could scrutinize the ethnic bigotry and confusion, really very naive, of this pair of street-smart, macho New York adolescents. It's kind of culturally telling, you know, how they free associate from Turks and Indians to Native Americans and that most pious national holiday, Thanksgiving, then face off over whether or not their old ladies hump gobblers. The sociologist from HEW will tell us why Murph doesn't have anyone to go home to and devise training programs for sweet lady social workers so they don't give knives (for whittling...

Travolta is best known as Vinnie Barbarino, the tough, macho "Sweathog" in ABC's hit series Welcome Back, Kotter. The show is an updated version of Happy Days, a genial exercise in instant nostalgia, and Vinnie Barbarino is barely distinguishable from Arthur Fonzarelli, a.k.a. the Fonz, who made Henry Winkler famous.
