...weeks ago, the NCAA called a special convention of its top football schools (those classified Division 1-A, including the Ivy League) to respond to a threat by the College Football Association (CFA), a splinter group composed of 61 leading Division 1-A members.

Nor do cats, like Kliban's cartoon meat-loaves, respond with interest to human grownup preoccupations. They pay no mind to politics, opera, opinion polls, fuel-stingy autos or nuclear proliferation. They remain unimpressed by est, Kiwanis, cocaine and PBS. Felines yawn equally at the reputations of Mick Jagger and Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. Cats operate in an exclusive and maddening parabola...
