This biological emphasis comports comfortably with the plots and subplots about betrayals by children.

Elvis Presley throbs from the jukebox as bobby-soxed waiters and waitresses improvise dance steps between servings. A young business crowd samples such unautomated Automat classics as fish cakes, macaroni and cheese, and chicken pot pie, all of which, alas, pale beside memories of the originals. The menu also includes diet-destroying desserts like the $12.95 "Kitchen Sink" sundae.
