Since the 'Poon is a non-profit corporation, any income it has must be spent within the year to avoid taxes, James A. Rivaldo, '69, General Manager of the parody, explained. "And since Lampoon members receive no payment for their efforts, that leaves us with a big hunk of dough to dispose of," he said...
...more intriguing questions of the election: Where did Hubert Humphrey's dough go? Last spring it seemed that for once in his political life the Vice President could campaign in affluence. But things did not turn out that way. The Democrats figure that by Election Day they will have spent only about $10 million, less than half as much as the Republicans have budgeted.

Rejecting a defense claim that pizza can be simply flattened on a table with the hands, and considering other injuries to Calogero, a twelve-man jury awarded him $335,000. At his old salary...
...rudimentary demonstration of their theory, Rouse and Bisque used children's Modeling Dough to mold a mantle around a solid core. The core was attached to a spindle that the scientists used to spin their model earth, accelerating it to simulate the effects of tugging magnetic fields. When the modeling compound dried and formed a thin crust, its larger cracks clearly defined major stress planes that were tangent to the core...
