...actually live right near the farm, and because the largely African-American neighborhood is the only area in Los Angeles to have lost jobs since 1992, the locals are on Horowitz's side: they'd rather raze the farm and build a warehouse. "We don't need some dingdong like Daryl Hannah going on TV and saying people need fresh air," says city councilwoman Jan Perry. "They also need jobs." An urban planner, Perry points out, would spread the community gardening money around the whole city instead of jamming it all into one area. Plus, Perry is intently focused...
...Dingdong. Avon, the world's largest direct seller of beauty products, is calling on teens like Prickett to peddle Mark, a new line targeted at women ages 16 to 24. Remarkably, it's the first time in Avon's 117-year history that the $6 billion company has launched a major youth movement. Until now, the cosmetics giant's core customer has been 35 or older.

What does this show? That college humor, whose seminal form is the Harvard Band, serves a larger purpose than gratification of the perpetrators. The Hand proved that come what may on the gridiron. Harvard would cream the opposition at halftime. In a prosaic era of social pussyfooting and dingdong mentalities elsewhere the Band reminded us that Harvard was hard on the course of intellectual rigor. The Band even occasionally pricked our social conscience, but always our senses of tolerance and humor. Should the academic authorities to dickering here? I rather prefer your reported response of the Band's senior member...
...poet fantasy, and where they did I believe that everyone knew everything about everyone else, every one of us there a true volunteer. Not that you didn't hear some overripe bullshit about it: Hearts and Minds, People of the Republic, tumbling dominoes, maintaining the equilibrium of the Dingdong by containing the ever-encroaching Doodah; you could also hear the other, some young soldier speaking in all bloody innocence, saying: 'All that's just a load, man. We're here to kill gooks. Period...
