...rail upon the traditional target, final clubs, often do so from the safety of groups which require an approval process that is ultimately no less capricious. How much of a difference is there between proving that you're good at hobnobbing than proving to a group like the Lampoon--a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine--that you can occasionally draw laughs?
