...love, there is a silence as if the shot fired at Sarajevo had just been heard the world round. Then Nora turns to the camera with a real smash below the belt, "Millions of women have." She looks like a continental Uncle Sam jabbing his recruiting "We Want You" finger straight into your stomach. Imagine how this fired the moral fervor of the ladies in the suburbs of Detroit...
HUNTER THOMPSON does not put his finger on a mere pressure point of the American dream. He does more. He plunges directly into its central vein and gauges the intensity of the pulse, a manic ebb and flow of raw human yearnings for wealth. Las Vegas is the ultimate embodiment of this process, stripped of genteel pretensions, and it is toward this mecca of the Horatio Alger dream that Thompson heads.

Some observers swore they saw him stick out his tongue at the President...

Many different ingredients constitute the mess: the 2.5 to 1 sex ratio arising out of Harvard's non-merger merger, the housing shake-up performed in March by the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life (CHUL), a possible reversal of the recent trend toward leave taking, a small senior class and the inadequacy of the present plan for assigning freshmen to Houses. Any one of these reasons could have made the roof cave in this Spring...
