...ONLY LICENSE that the latest Cabaret to open in Cambridge has is poetic. The round tables covered with red and white checkered tablecloths, the waiter garbed in black uniform and long white apron, and the complimentary chilled bottle of wine are all part of the setting of Adams House's All Gaul, the world premiere adaptations of three one-act French farces...
...office success. Edwards stages one nightclub scene starring Norma (Lesley Ann Warren). King's old girlfriend a Chicago chorus girl with a Brooklyn accent. Singing a paean to the Windy City. Norma struts her stuff and the camera zooms in close enough to count hairs. Slapstick routines, the inevitable waiter with a large cream pie, also form a backdrop for the main action.

Many young risk takers regard their accumulated wealth as a yardstick of success rather than as an end in itself. K.P. (Phil) Hwang, 45, emigrated from Korea in the early '60s and worked as a busboy and waiter while attending Utah State University.

Not a cough sounded as Abbott, 37, gave some grisly details of the aftermath of the 5 a.m. stabbing outside the Bini-Bon restaurant where Adan had worked. Adan, Abbott related, "said, 'You didn't have to kill me.' He started going backward. From his face he looked like he was dead...
