...volunteered to write a story for the paper, and after a great deal of snickering and behind-the-hand jokes I was assigned to cover the Abe Fortas Film Festival at the Law School. The Festival consisted of the seven films that were so obscene that they were only saved from destruction by Abe Fortas' vote on the Supreme Court. Somehow appropriate for the first night of Coed Week...
...least as many laughs as 5 issues of the New York Times, though it's not as good for starting fires), or that every bit of subtlety inevitably leaves a trail of squashed jokes behind it (as the more-tasteless-than-ever Audio Lab ad on the back cover graphically shows, there are times when an appeal to animal emotions gets nauseating). But there does seem to be an inherent confusion of purpose in the Lampoon's approach to its role as "humor magazine." In most of this month's pieces, clever Poonies work from the assumption that if they...
WITH its plain white cover and official seal, the pamphlet from the Senate Subcommittee on National Security and International Operations looked as dull and uninviting as any other Government document. Even the Government Printing Office has its sleepers, however, and Of Specialists and Generalists quickly became the hottest item in Washington.

Service under warranties, which cover about 10% of auto-repair business, suffers from an additional handicap. Dealers say that the automakers are niggardly with compensation for warranty work, allowing only a 25% profit margin for parts, compared with the 40% or more that a dealer can charge for nonwarranty work. As a result, dealers usually do warranty...
...intended to be a precedent. Moreover, the complaints about what the CRIMSON "should have" reported are both pragmatically and ideologically incorrect. The CRIMSON has a limited amount of space to devote to any given story; we neither can nor should provide exhaustive transcripts of every meeting we cover. Even so, we have devoted more space to the ROTC debate than to any other single topic this Fall. Since early October, we have had 15 news stories, an editorial, a news analysis, and a feature on ROTC. Each of the arguments raised at last week's SFAC meeting has been raised...
