I suppose they might have raised a giggle from the youth of Olde England or 60s Middle America, but kids of the latter era were getting naughtier word play from Ian Fleming. Remember Pussy Galore...
...contrast to Grassi and Fantini’s compromise proposal, Mayor Kenneth E. Reeves ’72 and School Committee member Nancy Walser remain at the poles. The former is Fowler-Finn’s strongest opponent, and the latter his strongest supporter...
