...alive and to reinforce the prejudice of those already so inclined. Furthermore, the argument continued, such humor was clearly perceived as offensive by other students and this served only to worsen rather than improve race relations in the College. "One black Harvard undergraduate," to quote the HRBSA, "reports his younger sister became deeply disturbed upon viewing the Lampoon issue that pictured a black shining the shoes of John Harvard. Another young man states that at his prep school, black students were given a negative image of Harvard by that same issue." The HRBSA was prepared to concede that stereotypes could...
...young toughs who are fighting over lucrative jobs in the organization have produced the worst intramural bloodbath since Al Capone seized control in the 1920s. The toll since December 1973: 21 dead. Observes Peter Vaira, chief of the Justice Department's anti-Mafia strike force in the city: "The younger faction wants more power and a bigger piece of the action. There will be more killings."

There is an inscribed silver plate from Jackie Kennedy and an emerald-studded ring from Pope Paul. He has become a virtual prince among priests. The sound of a Beethoven recording, a gift from the president of RCA, plays softly in the background...
...Janice Rule), a painter of weird murals and wife of the sometime stunt man who owns the apartment house where the others live and the tumbledown roadhouse where they drink. Her work, her silences and solitude, more obviously-and less interestingly-symbolize a sterility similar to that of the younger women. In the end, the women dispose of the stunt man (who has had all three of them) and are seen to be forming a sort of feminine trinity -mother, daughter and granddaughter. They seem at once mad and serene. Maybe Altman is exorcising some sort of masculine guilt here...
