After you've yowled a while, your roommates ask you to go try Radcliffe, where you proceed to spot a cute thing in a very stylish dress. Meeting her will be tough, but with ingenuity and incredible self-confidence it can be pulled off. The main trouble in meeting girls is that your selection is based at first on good looks, which actually mean nothing except that we feel they're necessary, which is actually pretty significant.

And William and Jean Eckart's sets are amusing and crisp...
Between percussioned boredom in the suburbs and rural depravity in the South, All in One offers Paul Draper's clean and stylish tap dancing. Draper seems to have grown more versatile, particularly on the satiric side; but what remains uniquely his is the tapping to classical themes, the suggestion of ballet grace...
