...concerns the manic antics of a renegade frat at an uptight small college in 1962, and all Lampoon targets get theirs--sex, immature (but funny) pranks, assholes, preppies, and callow youth.

After he made several futile appeals to consumer groups the New Hampshire supreme court came to his aid, ruling the car a lemon. Last week, Asciolla finally received, free of charge, a new Olds Delta 88, list-priced at $7,863.40, and a $6,200 check from GM. He also had the old '72 Delta parked behind his motel-a lemon that had, after all, yielded some juice...
