Jimi runs away from restaurant tabs, allows a queenie to moon over him while he feeds him dinner and begs at the backs of a restaurant for scraps. People in suits may wistfully stare out of their office windows at some guy sprawled in the park with a beer, but in reality they're better off where they...

...table is also a good place from which to take in the eclectic decorations that the store has gathered since its establishment in 1883. the portraits of Levitt and Pierce, hung like altar pieces, stare back at you from the opposite wall. Replete with 19th century Harvard baseball team photographs and old maps of the square, the store is historically more interesting than any Crimson Key tour. The loft area, which counts among its decorations 1891 Harvard-Yale football tickets and census reports from the turn of the century, includes complimentary issues of Cigar Aficionado for you perusal...

...French about-face, which was welcomed by the U.S. but received only a cool stare from British Defense Minister Malcolm Rifkind, reflects the schizophrenia at the core of the West's response to the Balkan war.

Yet admitting defeat and pulling out would not only humiliate NATO but also allow the conflict...

Players, coaches and fans may never forget some of this season's scariest images: the vacant, confused stare of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman after he collided chin-first with a blitzing Phoenix Cardinal; the sight of Buffalo Bills receiver Don Beebe lying, out cold, on the field, with one forearm pointed stiffly into the air; the awful stillness of New York Giants quarterback Dave Brown after...

...most disturbing characters is Mrs. Higley (Caitlin Anderson). It's a pity that her part is so small because she portrayed it with a catatonic stare and high pitched, mousy voice. Her entrance and exit create an expectation for weirdness that is not adequately fulfilled. Although one of the characters (played by Sami Shumays who does a convincing job as a drunk) has a leg amputated, the bizarreness of the characters' personze is not fully exploited. They are too relaxed for people who could at any moment perish...
