...centerpiece of Bela Fleck's music is his banjo. Now, maybe your image of a banjo is something that sits on Granny Smith's lap while she strokes Flash the basset hound and waits for the Confederate boys to boot the Yankees out of Atlanta.

Eliot and Ezra Pound and lost approximately $8,000 an issue. Somewhat less expensively, Kirstein also began the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art, an organization that provided much of the impetus for the establishment...
...found role as fashion hound, FM sniffed out one of Harvard's major fashion catastrophes and brought it faithfully to its readers' attention. A certain student whom FM chose to keep anonymous for fear of ruining his life (hint: Lampoon) was photographed wearing the outfit you see on this very page. Shield your eyes, fashion virgins, for the sight of this fashion Medusa may turn your jeans to polyester...
