...immunity. They knew from experience that anyone who survived certain diseases would not be likely to get them again. As early as the 11th century, Chinese doctors were manipulating the immune system. By blowing pulverized scabs from a smallpox victim into their patients' nostrils, they could often induce a mild case of the disease that prevented a more severe onslaught. In the 1700s, people rubbed their skin with dried scabs to protect themselves against the disease...
True, the television announcers (or at least the ones Boston is saddled with) are outrageous, unrepentant "homers." Bob Cousy may say "we" when referring to the Celts on T.V., but even he is mild compared with these bozos who make no effort to hide their distress when the opponents score a goal, and who have consistently denigrated the Devils' play, even though the series was tied at 2-all going into last night's game...

This was mild stuff compared with a 1967 parody that Mad Alumnus Wallace Wood drew for Realist magazine. In the cheerfully scabrous "Disneyland Memorial Orgy," Walt's creatures behaved exactly as barnyard and woodland denizens might. Beneath dollar-sign searchlights radiating from the Magic Kingdom's castle, Goofy had his way with Minnie...
