...working on publicity and the image of Hillel, on how to appeal to (Jewish students) of all types of practice," Kay says...
Competition in the Core spins out of control as professors promise lighter workloads, optional papers and better-looking section leaders. In the Literature and Arts sector, Harry Starr Professor of Classical, Modern Jewish & Hebrew Literature James L. Kugel of Literature and Arts C-37, "The Bible and Its Interpreters" is rumored to have promised eternal salvation. Professor of History James Hankins from Historical Study B-19, "The Renaissance in Florence" quoting from Dante's Inferno, tells students the seventh circle of hell is reserved for those who drop his class. ACLU attorneys are called to investigate as Kugel finishes with...

But Antichrist, from what I recall, wasn't mentioned at all. So when Jerry Falwell declared at a conference of Evangelicals that the Antichrist was a living Jewish male, I was disgusted.

...world domination. Possibly in the field of arts and entertainment or usury. I considered Ben Stiller, but the Antichrist is supposed to unite the world, and Stiller can't even open a major film by himself. That left me with Jon Stewart (too short), David Schwimmer (too Jewish, even for this part) and Adam Sandler. Yes, Adam Sandler. The actor who somehow got more than 20 million people to see The Waterboy. The guy who captured America with a character who rhymed words ending in -tion. Wasn't a man who slugged Bob Barker just one small step from jumping...
