...roguery they brought to their nightclub gigs. The slapdash nature of the script, performances and production was meant to reflect the informal, what-the-hell, let's-pretend-we're-having-a-ball impulse that led to their making. These were movies that loosened the tuxedo tie and the tongue to provide an intoxicated if not intoxicating diversion. They were loosy-goosy for the time, and instantly irrelevant. Marijuana would soon replace alcohol as the younger generation's drug of choice; nobody wore a tie, let alone a tux, after his senior prom...

I'd take odds on a 15-min. standing ovation...
...faculty committee to coordinate the calendars of the several schools within Harvard University, making the apt observation that such an adjustment would “enable students and faculty members to cross Harvard’s internal borders with greater ease” (Bok 2007). But then you tie the synchronization of the educational terms of Harvard’s schools with the moving of fall term exams from after winter recess to before, when the two changes are not necessarily connected—the undergraduate calendar can just as well be applied to the graduate schools in order...
