...typing paper, every goddam man on the street slobbering for those "honeydow melons" and letting you know it, whether you're dressed like Radcliffe '80 or Radcliffe '08--caged in by glossy magazine photos of surrogates for you spread-eagled--sitting at dining-hall tables while fellow students boast of Combat Zone conquests. Think ok? The crowning indignity is when this trash occurs in your own home, when Quincy House shows porno flicks and when you cannot open the Crimson without being subjected to someone's gang rape fantasies: "they could take her together, there were orifices enough...

They are outstanding free throw shooters as a team and made 71 per cent of their shots from the floor in the second half of their come-from-behind win over Georgetown in the Eastern final. But the Hawkeyes are an injury-prone team. Brookins has spent much...
...happened before. I think we have made a promising beginning." The next morning, the raggedly dressed ZANLA men formed up into perfect ranks as Comrade Morgan, a senior guerrilla officer, strode back and forth before them. "ZANLA has won the elections," he barked. "But no one is allowed to boast because he was a freedom fighter. Our revolution is a national revolution, for all races, whites, blacks and Asians.
