...Yorker, would pay heed to a semi-weekly barrage of juvenile insults (“You’ll be begging for hippies to take over your office when we’re done with you!”) and insulting juvenilia (see illustration of Summers, paunch out, barraged by tennis balls) from the staff of a shoddily distributed and quasi-pornographic student publication.

The Talker has mildly offensive breath and obviously forgot any good reading material. His smile is genuine, however, and in a rare moment of something resembling kindness, Glamourpuss gives...
...while Bickford often seems whiny--the angst of the tenured baby boomer doesn't ring tragic to many folks--at least it promises to take Max into new emotional territory for a man. And then some. Dreyfuss, Yorkin says, "is not afraid to be shown looking at his own paunch in the mirror and feeling...
