...what. So Brian Buckley won't be around to quarterback the Harvard offense this year. So the fans won't see a lot of shotgun snaps and 70-yd., zeppelin-like aerials. So Rich Horner may get a little lonely running fly patterns to distant yardlines that no one can reach. So what...
With the clock winding down to three seconds, split and Rich Horner glides into the endzone, his outstretched arms reaching for the 70-yd. toss.

They see around them what they call decadence. But is the U.S. decadent? Does the rich, evil word, with its little horripilations of pleasure, and its gonging of the last dance, really have any relevant meaning...
