...associate with people who make us comfortable. We would be penalized for sitting with people who understand where we come from and, most importantly, who do not question our ability. The Black students are already accused of this. It's always the Black tables that are noticed, not the jock table, not the preppy table. Perhaps they're a more conspicuous group.

...daily litany of lowbrow sexual innuendo, anatomical comparisons and coarse ethnic stereotyping may endear him to a surging army of sophomoric radio listeners, but not to the Federal Communications Commission. For the second time in two months, broadcasts by schlock jock Howard Stern have drawn FCC fines.

He was picked up by a struggling FM station, wxrk, in 1985, and in short order boosted its ranking from 21st...
