This lack of passion keeps you clean. Student politics is farcical. It is left to former Midwestern student council presidents. There are causes and causes. Issues come and go. You cluck your tongue or nod your head. Eisenhower was dull and stupid; Kennedy had style, you know; the Cuban invasion was bad; the Dominican Republic bit was ridiculous; join the Peace Corps; the Poverty Program should at least be given a chance. And so on and on. Many of us don't sign petitions because, well, what of our political careers...
...Jack Bruce, 24, a quiet Scotsman who plays bass guitar and is the group's chief songwriter, sings with the same tremulous passion that Clapton brings to guitar playing. When he huffs into a harmonica and wails the blues in his slightly burred accent, Chicago's South Side takes on a Glasgow glow...
...Kasane, which the group performs with the flow and precision of fine ballet. The company's most striking performances are its "recitations" of poetry. Through such simple gestures as twisting her fingers over her heart to show grief, stunning Audree Norton manages to evoke all the romantic passion contained in Elizabeth Barrett Browning's How Do I Love Thee?

Still, it was a considerably better performance than that of the typical...
Though the marquees scream about a VOLCANO OF SMOLDERING PASSION!, the view inside is little more than a Playboy peep show, less glossy but just as sexless. Lust is a popeyed man ogling a barmaid's cleavage, virginity a lacquered ex-stripper trying to look like a wide-eyed schoolgirl caught up in the evil ways of the big city. Usually, there are only random glimpses of breasts and bottoms, although lately the nudies have been edging closer to the limits of pornography with a rash of "sadie-massies" that drag in homosexuality, flagellation, voyeurism, lesbianism and assorted orgies...
