...writing of the Declaration of Independence is perfect for those who, unlike Feiffer's audiences, want to have faith restored in those good old American virtues that made this country great. Unfortunately, that's about all anyone could like about 1776, which is sort of an extra-large Hallmark Hall of Fame littered with a few drab songs and some jokes Ben Franklin tells about Thomas Jefferson's six life.

The CRIMSON editorializes about the sacrosanctity of Harvard education, as Soc Rel 149 is being attacked prelude to phasing out, despite its huge enrollment. So Collins gets two years on a phony dope rap. Two years. And we all understand that his biggest crime was disrupting Harvard...
