...Quad Wide Howl, as you report, did indeed Help Students Relieve Exam Tension. However, as it has in past years, the Quad Wide Howl took place at the Quad, not in the Leverett House Library. While the turnout was smaller this year than in previous years, at least two hundred students attended, not 100. Furthermore, the scream your reporter heard was in fact anguished howling at the full moon, surely a more appropriate reaction to reading period than "B & B or requila."

But confusion of judicial purpose, with lapses into wistful incompetence and the sociological sigh, is just as destructive to public morale. Within civilized limits, speed and certainty...
...that dumps its "elevator music" format for top-40 rock, WKRP is a sitcom dream. Its laughs derive from character rather than contrived gags; its cast is an ensemble of inventive comic actors. The first episode, which establishes the premise and players with dazzling efficiency, is an almost steady howl...
