...called Freak Show -- a virtual version of their 1990 set. The user enters a carnival big top to see and hear such freaks as Harry the Head, Herman the Human Mole, Wanda the Worm Woman, Jello Jack the Boneless Boy and Bouncing Benny the Bump.

The point about this man is that like Nazism itself, his irrationality cannot be contained by any appeal...
...those preppies got drunk and threw up all over the place during the Head of the Charles Regatta? Well, the security guards at the entrances to the Yard could regularly patrol the gates with blood-hounds to ensure that not one stray, camera-toting Yalie is allowed to wander through. In addition, we could demand presentation of the proper papers at each entry door. It's already standard operating procedure in small Communist countries...
