...cabarets--which have an air of being recent revivals--the striptease shows have taken poses from Liza Minelli (her film is immensely popular on the Kurfurstendamm) and one establishment has the latterday name of "Lola Montez." There are still touches of the bizarre: a poster advertises topless dancers parading engagingly as boxers--gloves, helmet, Everlast. The political cabarets have become almost purely theaters, and the shows are tame; one has closed down to become a children's theater. One laughs at jokes about the Nazis; nowhere is there anything resembling Gunter Grass' famous description in The Tin Drum...

John Getsinger has assembled a set of photographs of people in Lowell, along with quotations from the individuals, an explanation of how the photographer came to meet them, and description of their relationships to each...
...HEARD ABOUT IT, NOW GO SEE IT, reads the slogan on an Air Vietnam tourist poster showing a fetching maiden in a pink ao-dai. For any American who feels he has not seen enough of the place, about $2,000 will buy him round-trip transportation, a room in the best hotels and a generous sampling of Viet Nam's cuisine...
