...show was supposed to be "a satire on our dehumanized society." It was also intended as a "sensory assault," careening along, sometimes with the screen split four ways, reaching for a dizzying 300 laughs in a half hour. To add to the disorientation, the set was a white plaster cyclorama and the cast wore invisible white booties. It all seemed to come from beautiful downtown nowhere. So did the gags, leaning largely on contraception and homosexuality.

...damages for false imprisonment. Even in Britain, where a man may obtain his release by merely promising to pay bail, judges have broad power to lock up persons whom they consider dangerous. That such a system can be abused has been dramatically demonstrated by South Africa, where the ruling white minority may imprison for an indefinite time persons accused of "terrorist activities...

The problem extends from Washington, D.C., where a bank 100 yards from the White House grounds was looted last December, to North Hollywood, Calif., where one bank was recently hit twice in the same day. Last year U.S. banks reported 1,840 robberies, four times the number in 1960. The average bank robber is a lone amateur in his mid-30s. He has an 86% chance of fleeing the bank, but the FBI says...
