...citizens start turning into rhinoceroses. At first the people struggle with disbelief, but as more and more victims go crashing through the streets trampling cats and knocking down stairs, the survivors become engaged in a struggle to retain their humanity. Eventually, only Berenger, a lackluster drunkard wrapped in a haze of brandy and paranoia is left to hopelessly affirm his own humanity as everyone around him joins the unstoppable herd of rhinoceroses.

"Drink, haze, disband, and move on" is a message that makes a mockery of the judicial process...
...time you read this, perhaps you've descended from the ethanol-induced haze that accompanies many a student's Head of the Charles weekend. Or maybe you've finally returned to campus now that the bothersome teenage preppies, shameless radio hawkers, old Harvard oarsmen and just plain crazy rowing aficionados have left town. Whatever the case, welcome back to normalcy: a time when one can stroll peacefully along the Charles, and Harvard isn't a police state...
