...irreverent observations and quirky tidbits. Infused with an unabashedly political viewpoint, it's a surprisingly informative read. Sure, the airwaves are awash with an endless parade of history programs, but for Marxist comedian Steel most of the dons lecturing us about the Tudors or lamenting Britain's lost Empire "reek of pomposity." Steel's approach is to focus on things you don't find in the textbooks. Like the titillating contention that the most popular radical works of the Enlightenment, such as the influential Thérèse Philosophe, which follows a young woman's sexual and philosophical development...
...grew huge except Midget, who was doubly adorable. But like all dorm pets, there was a downside: as the ducks grew, they started to reek, and they ate incredible amounts of dining hall fare—ten daily cups of rice and vegetables—and were eventually shipped off to live a happy farm life with Harvard the Lamb.

Despite such precautions, says Fung, the disease may already have spread far beyond what medical authorities first expected. "There seem to be more...
...meager Harvard training quickly proved insufficient to handle the rigors of FSU social life. By day seven of my research excursion to FSU, even the milk in my morning corn flakes started to reek of the taste of Natty Light. My inability to withstand seven days of the lifestyle that many FSU students have spent four (or more) college years perfecting proves that nature may be a limiting factor in one’s quest to become the perfect partier. Yet, even if the average Harvard man or woman is not meant to party like they mean it every night...
