...Donato mutters into the microphone, and the audience laughs again. “No, I’m just kidding,” he adds, slightly embarrassed.“He likes your name, too,” Bob tells M’liss.Mercifully, Donato beats out contestants Harvey, Marinka, and M’liss for a word processor. He climbs the stairs and crosses himself, just as the host gleefully announces, “The reputation of Harvard is intact!”But once onstage, Donato has to play The Dice Game for a blue Pontiac Sunbird...
...narratives from the golden age of the daily strip. Peanuts' Charles Schulz is represented, as are the creator-artists of Popeye (E.C. Segar), Dick Tracy (Chester Gould) and Terry and the Pirates (Milton Caniff). From the '50s, the emphasis segues to comic books and graphic novels.

Harvey yelled at or sat on people who irritated him too much, and the folks high up at Buena Vista weren’t going to let the Two Stooges boss them around just because they made tidy profits on over-hyped prestige pictures and Quentin Tarantino?...
...Eventually, such battles hit the wall of reality. Such was evident at a recent speech by Harvey C. Mansfield ’53 on “Feminism and the Autonomy of Women.” Mansfield’s argument that women might now feel more liberated by staying in the home and raising children is controversial enough. But those expecting it to be condemned at the hands of feminists, eager to see women stay in the workplace, would have been surprised. Instead, the bulk of criticism came from BGLTSA types, outraged at Mansfield’s heteronormativity...
