...looks like TIME, and in places even reads a little like TIME. It feels like TIME, and has about as many pages. There is the red-bordered cover with a slash across one corner, and the usual news sections from ART to WORLD. Actually, it is not TIME at all, but a Harvard Lampoon parody of TIME, the third since 1941. Some 500,000 copies of the Lampoon will go on sale this week across the nation. How to distinguish it from the genuine weekly newsmagazine? It will cost...
...parody is the sincerest form of flattery, TIME is flattered indeed; it has come in for more than its share of parody since its birth in 1923. Imitations have been done by such well-known writers as Wolcott Gibbs (1936) and Art Buchwald (1966), and by such distant institutions as the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa (last spring).

So, why ain't this a drama review you ask, Because I began last Sunday by reading the Times' "The Week in Review," which predicted that the nation would stumble into yet another cataclysm sometime this fall. Like by October 15, and certainly by the November march on Washington that is bound to follow. Poor Richard is likely to feel quite threatened, as he did at last week's news conference where he said that Senator Goodell's plan...
...have been unfair to the general excellence of the Charles production by not dealing with it more directly, but, then again, one would suspect these are hard days for art with politics so prevalent. O'Neill suggests that if we give up our pipe dreams only death remains. I'm not sure how you translate that into political terms. But I'm sure the process has begun...
