...member of the furrier species--what you disparagingly call a dog-I'd like to share some thoughts about this place my friend Scooby-Doo calls Harvard. After spending a week at this fine University, I can share a new perspective-the six inches-tall one-on collegiate life...
...place for dog owners to walk their pets. Last Monday afternoon, I was taking a peaceful nap when suddenly a woman outside began shouting "No! Stop him! No, no, no!" Curious and concerned, I peered out and saw a large, mean-looking dog on top of a much smaller, furrier dog.

Charles Cioffi makes it all seem logical, however, and even manages to get through a tortured scene involving the Concert of Europe without seeming too much of a cliche. Richard Frank walks a similarly thin line as Geoffrey, the bisexual director who proclaims that "love is love, gender is merely spare parts." Frank, entertainingly gay (no pun intended) as he and McMurtrey cavort around the house, is also capable of pulling off quite serious moments in the second...
