...Harvard Lampoon--In a weird building on Mt. Auburn St. lives the Lampoon, a bunch of guys who think they're really funny. Usually they aren't. A lot of people on campus hate the Lampoon. Their humor, if you can call it that, tends to range from preppie-obnoxious to racist, but they do have occasional bursts of brilliance. The problem is that they're generally convinced of their genius. Two years ago, after a series of racist items in the magazine (how does a cover showing the statue of John Harvard with a black child shining its shoes...
Padan Aram--A mysterious poetry/literary magazine that appears once every few months, then goes away again. Uneven quality, and it's only in its third year of operation. Lots of weird poetry...

It's almost too weird for comment. George Steinbrenner obviously doesn't want to play the heavy, and Martin, apparently in somewhat shaky physical and mental health, wants his job back. Bob Lemon must feel great, and the rest of the club (led of late by Thurman Munson, who has been consistently hot through July) must...
