...Miss Molly, you look like a hog!"). The next he is Velvet Jones, a pomaded pimp, with teeth like sheathed knives, huckstering his how-to books for young ladies, I Wanna Be a Ho and Exercises of Love. Now he is Tyrone Green, an illiterate convict lionized by radical chic for his vengeful poetry ("Cill My Lanlord") and moving with the mean swagger of a ghetto goon pulling off his toughest scam. A few commercials later, he is Tyrone's spiritual cousin, Film Critic Raheem Abdul Muhammad, fashioning a variation on local-news patter-"Angry Talk"-as he accuses...
...Aspen conference would seem to be an ideal place to focus this notion into a vision. It was started by Walter Paepcke, chairman of the Container Corp. of America, as part of an effort to turn the half-forgotten Rocky Mountain mining town into a chic culture and vacation resort.

But just sentences before, he accuses Anderson of hiding his politics to keep "his radical-chic image intact." Which is it. Tom-of-the-non-radical-chic-image? Alden Cavanagh, displaying the SYL's talent for historical discrimination, subtly equates Anderson's original letter with Hitler's Big Lie, and then oddly smears Anderson for having defended the SYL's right to be on campus. Believe me. Alden...
...sadist in us. Don't (Cliffies) write offers to come over and read aloud to us your illegible remarks--we can (officially) read anything, and we may be married. Write on both sides of the page--single-bluebook finals look like less work to grade, and win points. This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably worth a good five extra points if you can hack...
