...plot, in fact, is minimal. A pleasant place called Pepperland is invaded by a tribe of amorphous music-hating monsters called the Blue Meanies, who launch a devastating attack with "splotch guns," which drain their victims of color, and a ferocious Flying Glove, with jet propulsion and a sinister intelligence of its own. The Meanies' ranks fight the Apple Bonkers (who drop big green apples on people's heads) and the Snapping Turtle Turks with sharks' mouths for stomachs...
ROTC is based on the notion that the country's universities should serve the needs of the warfare state. As long as American universities continue to accept these institutions on their campuses they legitimize the idea that the universities and the military should work hand-in-glove in fighting the Cold War. And Harvard, as the oldest and most prestigious of American universities, has the strongest impact of all in this regard. The Army, by staying here no matter how few students in its program, appears to have learned this lesson far better than Harvard...
...have to give Edelmann points: the subtle coloring works consistently well, and most of the malevolents (Blue Meanies and denizens of the Sea of Monsters) are top-notch cartoon creations.

Smith had just won the 200-meter dash in a record-breaking 19.8 sec. Carlos, his bearded teammate from San Jose State College, had finished third. Together, they turned up for the awards ceremony shoeless, wearing knee-length black stockings and a black glove on one hand (the right for Tommie, the left for John). Along with Australia's Peter Norman, the second-place finisher, they mounted the victory pedestal to receive their medals. Then, as the U.S. flag was raised and the band struck up The Star-Spangled Banner, the two black athletes bowed their heads and raised...
...problems off it. It was a regular occurrence for an angry McLain to bash his eyeglasses against the dugout wall (which is one reason why he now wears contacts). In Baltimore, when he was taken out of a game, he threw the ball at his manager and tossed his glove at the dugout. His control that day was so bad that the ball sailed over the dugout roof and into the stands...
