...song writer, his hokey girlfriend and perverted neighbors is, in one word, terrible. Dudley Moore--of Good Evening fame--limps along mightily, running into Beverly Hills cops, the back of his telescope and, finally, the beautiful Bo Derrick. The woman is a "14" but, for some reason, her hair dresser thinks she's a Rasterfarian...

Not only did he brandish a chrome-plated pistol, but he was a natty dresser who always wore a fedora and treated his victims with elaborate courtesy.

The rooms are adequately furnished: three beds, a desk, a large table, rune chairs, fluorescent-light tube, two big jars for storage of rice and a small glass-topped dresser on which sits a bowl of fruit. After deductions for then-semiannual oil and rice allotments, the Ch'ens earn around $29 a month, though this depends on "work points," earned on performance in the field. They also raise some food - and possibly ex tra cash - on a small...
