Chances are that Dayan, Sharon and Weizman will turn out to be less chauvinistic in their policies than expected. For one thing, observes Zeev Schiff, Ha 'aretz's military analyst, the fortunes of war have affected Israel's long mufti line. Following the spectacular victory of the Six-Day War, generals were national heroes, eagerly courted by political parties and the public alike. Israel fared less well in the October War, and generals seem to have lost some stature. Thus, even if the triumvirate were to favor some extreme military action, there is no guarantee that they...

...those who prefer fermented grapes to grains, several local restaurants have varied wine collections. The Wine Bar, on the second floor of the Garage, has a fine--if expensive--selection of wines, which go very well with their excellent desserts. You might also try the Blue Parrot and the Ha'Penny, which are both located on Mt. Auburn...

Laughter is a spontaneous, and by definition, involuntary spasm of mind and body, a confluence of intellect and instinct in a moment of revelation. This is why written humor, deprived of an active context, so often fails. This is why the expression "Ha-ha" appears so pathetic on the page. This is why laying down "laugh-tracks" on sit-coms is like forcing an elephant to do the Hokey-Pokey while spanning the rails in Park St. Under (a game young hooligans call "Shredding the Elephant"). The attempt to institutionalize anarchy deprives anarchy of its essence, and like all large...

...contradiction in terms. Therefore, its humor tends to be conservative and elitist. The only way to remedy this situation would be to have the organization itself decide to disband, after which the Lampoon, as such, would no longer exist. This might be for the better, since the phrase "Ha Ha" has always seemed pathetic in print--deprived of its active, spontaneous context. But the Lampoon will exist for as long as Harvard exists, and the Lampoon spirit will, when the cup of Death is passed, drink John Harvard under the table...
