[texhax] trouble getting lists as I want them on beamer slides

[Christopher W. Ryan]

I'm running MikTeX 2.9 on Windows 7.

I am using the outlines package in a beamer document to easily create 
nested bulletted lists. This has been my customary approach for years.

But in this case, I want the last slide to be smaller font, and without 
the "bullets" that start each item. How can I accomplish this?

So far, trying various combinations of the outlines, enumitem, and 
enumerate packages, I have had no success. See MWE below.

Thanks.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usepackage{Sweave}
\usepackage{outlines}

% toggle the below line on and off
% ON, I get the symbols I want at the start of each item on first slide
% but not the small font size I want on slides 2 and 3
% OFF, I get the font size I want on slides 2 and 3, but the ball
% symbols disappear from slide 1
% \usepackage{enumitem}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{plain old bulleted list with outlines package}

\begin{outline}
\1 plain
\1 old
\2 nested
\3 list
\1 using begin \{outline\}
\end{outline}

\end{frame}

  \begin{frame}
   \frametitle{this list done with base LaTeX begin \{itemize\} }


% why does the below line affect only first-level items
in my itemized lists if enumitem is "off"?

I want all the text on this slide to be small.  And I'd like to omit the 
symbols at start of each item
