...ironic that businesses with names like the No Name Bar and The Chocolate Soup (a children's clothes store) now so proliferate that only an innocent would suffer a double take on learning that an orchestra called The Widespread Depression happened to be performing last week at a nightspot called The Other End. That is in Greenwich Village, where some runners trade at a store called The Athlete's Foot...
...series of bits that are far too hot for TV's Saturday Night Live. We watch the homoerotic rituals of a fraternity initiation and the orgiastic excesses of an all-night "toga" party. In one funny if discomforting scene, white students show up at a black nightspot and try, without notable success, to display some soul.

...resist the luncheon invitation: "I have nostalgia for India. I love it." So much so that she stayed on for the Jaipur Ball that night at Studio 54, a discotheque hastily redecorated to resemble a maharajah's garden. Has her eldest son ever set foot in a nightspot? "I imagine he has, but he wouldn't tell me about it," she said. "My other son would...
