When the club that does emerge victorious skates around the Garden ice holding up the small pot of beans (no real beans but a damn realistic-looking pot), the crowd cheers. But the celebration is not only for the winners, although they certainly love to bask in the crowd's adulation--it is a ritual affirmation of the sport itself...
...20th century. The best coup is to have reunited the two completed parts of Grosz's blistering anti-establishment triptych of 1926, Eclipse of the Sun and Pillars of Society. The latter, with its beer-hall vision of the coming new order--a servile journalist wearing a chamber pot, a flabby blimp of a politician with a steaming headful of excrement, and a militarist with a swastika tiepin and ectoplastic dreams of conquest in his skull--has a Brechtian violence that is beyond the scope of most modern cartooning...

And how do we know that McKinney won't diversify...

All legal. All moral. All seemingly beneficial. Cannabis should be no more contemptuously labelled "a pot company" than should the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture synthetic...
