The NCAA needs to do something now, before even its pretense of amateurism fades. Sure, the ruling body just hit USC with a two-year TV ban for its indiscretions, but will that be any more effective than the one-year disqualification from bowl appearances imposed on the Trojans...
...from the Jews, cries Steiner's Führer, that he learned everything: "To set a race apart. To keep it from defilement. To hold before it a promised land ..."

Indeed, Marianna's sister, played by Nini Pitts, seems more frightened of the spectre than does Marianna. Rather, Marianna is victimized by her visions of romance which cling to her and draw her from her sleep. How such notions could possibly threaten her, we do not know; nor are we shown why she is so enamoured of Marion. For Marianna seems...
