...London, and The Rat in Boston. There, shock is chic. Musicians and listeners strut around in deliberately torn T shirts and jeans; ideally, the rips should be joined with safety pins. Another fad is baggy pants with a direct connection between fly and pocket. These are called dumpies. Swastika emblems go well with such outfits. In London, the hair is often heavily greased and swept up into a coxcomb of blue, orange or green, or a comely two-tone. Pierced ears may sport safety pins, some made of gold or silver.

...sous I'occupation (Let's Sing under the Occupation) was an 80-minute documentary on the good life in Paris under Nazi rule in 1940-44. Interspersed among shots of Chevalier mugging and clowning were newsreels of Wehrmacht troops marching up the Champs-Elysées, the swastika fluttering on the Eiffel Tower, and German soldiers ogling nudes at the Lido nightclub. Even grimmer was the shot of the roundup of 13,000 Jews at the Velodrome d'Hiver for deportation to Nazi death camps...
