...made into a colorful bit of Gospel propaganda by Manhattan's U.S. Games Systems. Clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades become the suits of Luke, Matthew, Mark and John. The cards carry the evangelists' traditional symbols: the winged ox for Luke, the winged man for Matthew, the winged lion for Mark, the eagle for John. The standard 13-card suits prevail, designated one through king, but every card is a "picture" card, decorated with a biblical quotation and a full-color Gospel scene that seems a cross between tarot cards and Peter Max art.

In that decade, the President assumed control of the editorials, the Secretary wrote the "Fact and Rumor" column, and the Managing Editor was responsible for everything else. Thus, although the M.E. did the lion's share of the work, setting up the paper and making assignments, it was the President who guided the paper's policies, subject to the general consent of the Board. Henry James '99, President of The Crimson, wrote this description of a typical day at the paper in the December...
