...four gardeners, a cook, a butler, a maid, a chauffeur (not to mention the dogs and cats). On the Pilar, Hemingway's beloved 38-ft. yacht, she was his fishing buddy. Everywhere-in the bullfight arenas of Spain, on safari in Africa, at Toots Shor's celebrity saloon in Manhattan-she was audience to an endless cycle of war stories and constant repetitions of his philosophies and jokes, including such trying catch phrases as "truly" (spoken in a "solemn voice") and "how do you like it now, gentlemen...
Good talk, whether in Charleston salon or Key West saloon, is a staple of Southern life-but only a reflection of it. Southerners actively stalk pleasure in all its forms with the avidity of a Yankee conglomerator bent on making billions. The gentle climate, only slightly exaggerated by Sir Walter, woos people from TV tube and typewriter to putter and put-put, field and stream. Southerners spend little time commuting to work, and recreation areas are almost everywhere close at hand. Nearly 30% of all the hunting and fishing licenses issued in the U.S. are bought by Southerners; hunters alone...
Bugsy Malone's real location is in a perfect playground of the imagination, and its plot is a loose arrangement of recognizable types and classic sequences. Long-lashed Bugsy (Scott Baio) is a good-natured mug who hangs around the speakeasy run by Fat Sam (John Cassisi).

There is a little shooting in The Shootist, to be sure, including the sort of climactic saloon gundown that is not only predictable but practically required by law. The movie is stately, even funereal, as it details the last week of J.B.'s life. Director Don Siegel excels at turning out saw-toothed melodramas (Dirty Harry), and likes to play along the grim edge where sullen threat turns to quick, obliterating violence. Not even in The Beguiled-a harrowingly beautiful gothic tale-has Siegel gone so far away from what is familiar...
Kenneth G. Cross '71 took an alternate route from many other Harvard graduates. After travelling around for a few years after he graduated, Cross and four friends opened up a saloon in northern Vermont. "There are an amazing amount of crazy people here," Cross said last week from Kilgore's Trout Saloon in Montgomery Center, Vermont. "It's a small town--you know everybody." But Cross was not satisfied with his college education. "Education doesn't give you a whole lot to do, and the problems of the city bummed me out, so I came here. Things happen...
