...Saturday a huge antigovernment march snaked through Miami. And proving once more how quickly our culture converts everything into entertainment, the creators of the bawdy animated South Park seized on the seizure and remade it for a Thursday-night prime-time audience as witless comedy: a bunny-suited Janet Reno points a rifle at one of the show's characters, who hides fearfully in a closet...

Frankly, I was shocked, because I don't think of myself as bitter about Harvard. But when I set out to be funny, without realizing it I became positively angry. The speech turned out to be as out-of-place at a happy occasion as Janet Reno backstage at a Miami Sound Machine concert...
