...first half of the meeting, the carefully selected and well-prepared students put on an impressive display of Cuban groupthink. But then Congressman Solarz tried to inject some spontaneity into the discussion-and caught the students off guard. When he called for a show of hands by those who had friends fighting in Angola or Ethiopia, 16 were hesitantly raised. He asked how many of the students had friends who had been killed or wounded in Africa; by reflex, four students started to raise their hands.

It was like an old yearbook in the carton of high school memorabilia we all keep stored somewhere in the back of our lives. But there was nothing static in the show's evocation of '50s style and slang. It moved, man, to the solid beat of a score that was capable, on occasion, of affectionately parodying the emerging rock sound of that era.
