...other Lampoon-related news, former staff writer Nick B. Sylvester ’04 was suspended from a top editorial position at the Village Voice and removed from the Pitchfork Media masthead for fabricating part of a Voice cover story about dating in New York; gossip site Gawker.com reports that most of Sylvester’s quotes/anecdotes were attributed to former Lampoon members...

"BHL," as he is known at home, exploded onto the literary scene at age 28 with Barbarism with a Human Face, in which he excoriated Marxist intellectuals for complicity in communist horrors. In 30-odd books since then, he has remained provocative and, unusually for a French thinker, pro-American. "I have been...
