Perhaps Andrew Moulter enjoys wallowing in his mudhole of tasteless, indeed sophomoric, collegiate humor, but I do not. His review of National Lampoon's "Animal House" desplays an aching lack of sensitivity to the very real human issues at stake in the education of our youth. How can Multer possibly look kindly on a film that condones premarital sex, alcholism, random violence and the gross over-consumption of vital food resources? America will never be great again as long as this leading astray of our youth by the purveyors of smut and boorishness continues. Moulter speaks glowingly of the National...
...such tasteless license can come some of the best comic writing in the country. Four years ago, O'Rourke and Kenney edited the Lampoon's most successful publishing project to date (1.6 million copies sold): the 1964 High School Yearbook Parody. A precursor of Animal House (also co-written by Kenney), this work was a replica of a second-rate school annual, right down to the pushy ads for local merchants and the classmates' autographed cliches in the margins.

Eva's death deprived Perón of her much needed political pillow talk. His heavyhandedness and arrogance went unchecked. He foolishly attacked the church and caused outrage by taking a 13-year-old mistress. Later he dismissed criticism of the affair with the remark that he was not superstitious. He lasted until 1955, when the army toppled him in a coup...
...frantic to provide them, but to no-or at least embarrassing avail. Higgins was the author of the popular Silver Streak; if you didn't realize it then, you will surely now understand how great was his debt to resourceful Richard Pryor for saving that similarly noisy and tasteless venture. Higgins should not make a move without...
