...referee allowed play to continue, and the result was a 3-on-2 breakaway for the Bears. Sophomore sweeper Mike Lobach made a valiant effort to stop the Brown surge but was yellow carded as he took down a Bear player from behind...
Lisa Ling knows that kind of talk all too well. Now a co-host of ABC's popular daytime talk show The View, Ling grew up outside Sacramento, Calif., with "people getting in my face and going 'Risa Ring.' They'd call me Lisa Yellow." Today, as a highly visible TV personality, she gets the taunts via e-mail. Within the haystack of praise in her In box, she finds the occasional slur.

(The organization claims that Tyrone Slothrop, a fictional Harvard graduate in Pynchon's Gravity Rainbow, was a Lampoon editor.) The Lampoon really, really wants secrecy to be the organization's hallmark. Only invited seniors, enterprising Crimson editors and the select few undergraduates who pass the Lampoon's rigorous comp...
