...good old silent college days, the duties of the kindly campus cop were rarely more critical than controlling a panty raid, lecturing a drunken student or investigating a petty theft.

As a result, many university administrators are recruiting a new breed of campus gendarme...
Peace Pigs. To cope with the dramatically different campus of today, university police chiefs try to weed out authoritarian types among their men who may provoke more trouble than they control. Berkeley's top cop, William Beall, frankly admits that he looks for "Peace Corps" types who can assure the students that "we are less likely to escalate the situation."

"Barcelona," she replies for one of the dozens of explosive one-word and one-line laughs that punctuate the show. It is not a cop-out but a truism that in the end Robert discovers that these casual liaisons are a paradise of emptiness that leave him less than alive. His married friends have been his substitute for life, and he decides he had better enter wedlock with all its unholy terrors...
