...hunters and charging "a dollar a dog." Bill Moran, a fully retired manager of a grain company, thinks they could be a fine addition to the menu at Skaets. And Don Collins Jr., who still has a few years before retirement, looks through the window at the cold rain and suggests that the offending rodents might make excellent earmuffs...
...smoking sets you apart--literally. At restaurants we are seated back by the kitchen door, where we dine to the music of busboys clattering silverware into milky dishwater. At work we smoke huddled in the rain and snow, risking pneumonia for (we are told) the sake of the public health.

As he practices his steps--at his desk, in the subway, under a bridge in the mild rain --the zombie is revived. "Every day I feel so alive," he says. "Even being tired feels great." His rejuvenation lasts one act too many, but it has a satisfying payoff, to the tune of guess-which Rodgers and Hammerstein tune. For a beguiling summer movie treat, bring hankies, a dance partner...
