At Harvard, whatever discussion there has been on the conservative issue has also revolved around the newspaper Regardless of its extreme stands, it's impressive that they cared enough to get the thing off the ground, people say as they scan The Salient over lunch.

There was a time (circa 1955) when The Vatican Rag caused frissons and merriment all around the campus- circuit. Songwriter Tom Lehrer was a Harvard math professor who could do numbers on anything from sex to the Bomb. But satire is a parasitical art, no stronger than its host. Folk singers, the. military, Freud and faith, all have been familiar targets for over a generation. Today Tomfoolery, a chrestomathy of 28 Lehrer hits...
