...brand of football and a variation of the game that he hadn't seen before. It was a lot like the day he had first learned to write his name cursive. It was his name all right, but written in a way that was not straight-forward, not easy to look at, or understand. The Harvard Band marched on the field for the halftime show...
...womens' movement, as it evolved in the late '60s and early '70s, brought into full view a whole slew of problems and injustices, of which both men and women are the victims. Some seem relatively straight-forward, such as job discrimination; some were enormously complex, such as the various issues revolving around human sexuality. Unfortunately, as Gunther's article suggests, the latter type is being milked for all it is worth in the commercial world...
...press, the most dangerous effect of corporate domination has been the pretense of objectivity. The belief in an "objective," unbiased, impartial press is radically wrong. In even the most straight-forward reporting there is always a subtle slant, or room for interpretation, and a newspaper will betray its inclinations in a thousand small ways.

Time out for a little digestion. We got over 40 entries for this quiz, people handing in answer sheets up until 1 a.m. Monday morning. Every class in the university was represented, from finance capital to the lowliest of the lumpen. A grand total of about 4000 answers, both straight-forward and way the hell off the track. But as I sit here now, NOBODY, but nobody could compare with the answers that were turned in by Esserman, so I might as well just give you her choicest brainstorms before the fellas in the white nehru jackets pack her away...
