...sure, they attened lectures with the Harvard men, and it wasn't unusual for a young lady to demurely express a desire to go to a graduate school before settling down. But by and large, the "Cliffies" were fortunate even to be depicted as superficial socialites, rather than mindless "greasy grinds" who never left the Quad. Consider an entry in a widely read "Harvardians Partial Glossary": "R--is for Radcliffe, 60 per cent of whose members marry Harvard...
...Pope!" John Paul was wheeled swiftly to the intensive care unit, given a blood transfusion and taken to the ninth-floor surgical clinic. As he was being moved into surgery, the Pope, fully conscious, posed to a male nurse the question that recurs with such dreadful frequency amid the mindless violence that grips the world: "Perchè l'hanno fatto [Why did they do it]?"

It turns out, though, that Joe is trying to sell a pound of cocaine he picked up at a Philadelphia drop-off site, and Chrissie is a mindless, though benevolent, sucker who babbles about reincarnation and defends Joe's dealing by remarking "Dope's all right--dope is for everyone!" Malle's Atlantic City seems to suck all the aimless and the brainless from everywhere across America to itself, gathering them in this sinkhole so they can leech...
