There seems to have been, as well, an attempt to cover up the caper. The theft occurred in April, but the bereft Bunny keepers said nothing publicly until two weeks ago, when Playboy offered a Hefty $50,000 reward for the wayward videos' safe return...
...what are they doing here in Las Vegas if, as appears to be the case, they are also too conservative for the risk-to-reward ratio of the $25-a-pop blackjack table? They have come at the invitation of their favorite financial- newsletter editors, who are still trying to come back from the 1987 crash and have offered this investment seminar as a subscription-renewal bonus ("A $500 retail value!

To predicate the availability of tickets on the completion of the surveys suggests that tickets are some sort of reward which the College may or may not decide to dispense upon us. The arrangement, frankly, cheapens the whole process of graduation.
