...haphazard organization of Central Square doesn't preclude original designs--it might even encourage whimsical businessmen. I'm sort of partial to weeds, myself, and the dowdy, uncouth window display at Fashion Junction, where the man-nequins' limbs are out of kilter under synthetic negligees in translucent shades of green and blue, fascinates me, while Corcoran's spacious, well-tended window doesn't interest me. Some charming stores have sprouted between the frowzy ones, too. I like Paul's Shoes because the cobbler printed his sign in slithery black letters. And I'm sorry the miniscule take-out stand...
...view to make it satire instead of a collection of better-and-worse gags. There is nothing in it that could possibly offend the comfortable businessman in from Brookline for a wild evening in the Square. Perhaps the funniest bit is about a youngman who takes his incredibly uncouth date to a fancy French restaurant. Even honest gross-out humor like this (it ends with her throwing up) seems funnier than "mild" political satire. During the Ford routines, for example, we're laughing at a stupid man, any stupid man, and the fact that he's President of the United...

In the self-conscious and easygoing Archie of Husbands, Falk found a character who was the image of his own half-studied, uncouth offstage self. A onetime "pool junkie" (the all-nighters over the billiard table may explain his hunched posture), Falk is still a steady gambler on "baskets, pro ball and the fights." Though his wife of eleven years is fond of her modish lifestyle in Beverly Hills, Falk says...
Emily Post died the other day; the demise of this lady high executioner of the uncouth marks a final expiration-Victoria is dead, long live the twentieth century. The time has come to talk of Radcliffe women being allowed to have men in their rooms more often than the allotted and tea-soaked twice a year...
...borstal boys are an uncouth lot, mostly representative scum of the urban slums, yet their individual characters and common humanity are finely delineated by the superb Dublin Abbey Theater players. As the young Behan, Frank Grimes is one of those actors who make reviewers long for new adjectives of praise. He is evocative, ardent and totally winning. As the older Behan, Niall Toibin looks uncannily like the man he is playing, and his Gaelic way with a bawdy tune could set a barroom on the roar...
