...responsible for the stodgy Soldier of Orange and the ugly Spelters), The 4th Man is bobbing prosperously along the art circuit, a midsummer night's titillation for the would-be with-its. But the movie's ultimate fate, surely, is to be celebrated, along with Pink Flamingos and its ilk, at the midnight masses of the lavender thrill...
Tramiel went further. He installed Sons Sam, Gary and Leonard in key management posts and sent out pink slips to some 70% of Atari's remaining U.S. work force of 1,100, leaving a skeleton crew of no more than 300 engineers, financial and marketing people and clerks. Atari's manufacturing facilities will be shifted and consolidated. One center in El Paso will be moved to Sunnyvale, and Atari's software production will be relocated to Taiwan...

Go upstairs past the off-duty cop and the slightly tipsy, muscle-bound bouncer and find mass inhalation of the famed Scorpion Bowl. The Kong also features scores of foreign beers, and the hardy can try to join the 69 Club, by consuming 69 different types of beer in a set period of time. Prices are steep, and after several $7-plus Scorpion Bowls, your wallet may cease to exist...
