...passing students. At California's San José State University, badly fitting window frames caused drafts that sent shivering nude models scurrying from the art studio. The 30 models, aged 21 to 52, went on strike, in part because they were tired of posing clad only in "goose flesh." At San Francisco State University, an electric fan, running some 14 hours a day, is all that keeps the library's transformer from overheating-and breaking down. At an Ivy League university, maintenance crews had to tie rags around floor-to-ceiling columns to funnel water leaking from...
...tired of surrogates carrying the president's message? Aren't you tired of radio and television images? Don't you feel insulted? Some organizers say the backlash vote -- the soft Carter support, the people who aren't too high on Kennedy but wanted to see the president in the flesh--may be high. The real test of the campaign, Kennedy predicts, will come when Carter leaves the White House. In the meantime, Kennedy is studying hard...
...crowd, his growing relationship with Ted ("I wish I could do something for you," Al mysteriously tells his cute, freckled neighbor) and his visits to his girlfriend (Karen Allen). The driving disco and violent gyrations of the cruising scene contrast strikingly with Allen's soft-toned flesh and delicate moaning orgasm.

The sequence arouses, perhaps in a trite or superficial way, a heterosexual's most basic fear of homosexuality: are the physical aspects of this act really any different when performed...
...call the Waverly "a mom and pop operation." She does the research, he does the arranging. "Even in modern notation," Kay explains, "a piece we select will typically be nothing but a melodic line, with no sharps or flats, no tempo or dynamic markings-just a clue." How to flesh out the melody, how to pace it and color it, when to use voices and when instruments, and even where a touch of improvisation might spark things along: these are decisions Michael makes. He plans the Waverly programs around a theme. Their annual December concerts in a 12th century Spanish...
GIGOLO could have been an orchestrated rock-teasing paean to American sexuality of barely sublimated desire, bulging jeans and watery eyes, sex sans porn, pulse without flesh, a lean, lacquered look at the demons of the California Dream. Instead, Schrader concocted a laughable montage of silly sequences, an absurd plot and bad lines that reaches climax in a bizarre series of fade-outs that symbolize pauses between pelvic thrusts. Gere, as Julian Kaye, makes it clear that he does only straight, high-class women. He looks more embarrassed than worried when he gets framed for a handcuffs-cum-sex murder...
