...course, the killjoys are putting up a fight. They aren't too pleased about gay students getting involved in Harvard's plumbing because it's affecting their own. Take this recent rant: "is it just me or is there no place for a guy to take a shit here since they closed the 5th floor bathroom?... hope those glory holes were worth...
...attitude of students toward fire safety grows more and more flippant. As the chorus of irritated voices grew louder and louder, the crowd began to notice a single, particularly upset voice penetrating the din. It was a fireman. And he had a megaphone.

Fox taught TV news that voice, provocation and fun are not things to be afraid of. And for better or worse, probably every TV news program outside of PBS has been Foxified by now. The explosive graphics on your newscast: that's Fox. The "freeSpeech" opinion segments on the new CBS Evening News: that's Fox, too. Anderson Cooper yelling at a FEMA official or crusading in Africa: that's Fox. Keith...
