...Cirrotta, an ex-G.I., was a bright boy, and he sometimes let people know it. A couple of the fellows who took Comparative Lit. 24 and Ed. 4 with him would testify to that.

There are two or three in the current issue which could conceivably appear in "The New Yorker" during its annual mid-summer slump and one, entitled "La Mouche," is probably the best the Lampoon has printed this year...
