...obvious exceptions. Spiro as V.P. is a deja vu parody of Richard as V.P.: Tricia. dressed as a gypsy princess at a White House Halloween party, is out to parody her sister Julie's marriage to a grinning David: and airline hijacker Rafael Minichiello is certainly a master parodist even if TWA is hesitant to admit it. But most other examples-particularly, those that aren't performed on a nationwide scale-are less clear cut. One might ask. for example, is The Independent a parody of The Gazette or is each merely a self-parody of itself? There...
...said the voluptuous elf-maiden as she provocatively parted the folds of her robe to reveal the rounded, shadowy glories within."), the Real Author is easily identifiable as none other than the odious Terry Southern. So you see why I had to mention the unfortunate proliferation of parody. Not even the Poon is safe from such unexpected reversals of reality, because this man Southern has done them one better. It should there-fore be no surprise that Bored's second edition already bears a boldly-lettered come-on announcing. "Terry Southern's best book since The Magic Christian...
...pitiful as the success of last year's team was inspiring. Injuries have sidelined a lot of important people, and of course, unimportant people, too. But they were already sidelined anyway.

The varsity and freshman harriers and the varsity soccer team are all unbeaten, except for losses...
...action must be dramatic; to be dramatic, it must be unique; to be unique in America in 1969 it is increasingly necessary to be violent. A student picket line in 1960 was an event with some emotional impact; a picket line in 1969 is hardly likely to prompt even intellectual curiosity. Occupying a building is almost passe. Peaceful protests may still be effective in changing government practices but they do not have a strong psychological impact. Violence has become more attractive for SDS because it is increasingly a necessary condition for building the movement...
...university performs many undesirable services for the society in which it operates. However, these activities could easily be administratively and physically removed from the university. The military could replace the ROTC program with little difficulty even if it was completely eliminated from all college campuses. The radical argument that stopping ROTC will stop the war, an argument which relies primarily on the very large percentage of junior officers trained in ROTC programs, is fallacious. The Defense Department has numerous options to replace ROTC such as summer camps, or an expanded O.C.S. program. ROTC is not alter all much...
