Teen-age sophisticates can snicker as much as they like, but Mrs. John Mitchell's first experiment with marijuana was a sure enough bad trip. The Attorney General's wife offered to help dramatize a Bureau of Narcotics briefing for Justice Department wives by taking a whiff of some marijuana leaves burning in a pot. "I stuck my head right over it," Mrs. Mitchell recalls, "and no sooner had I got my head up off the stuff than my eyes started running and my throat was all irritated." Despite medication, a violent 24-hour allergic reaction...
...Jubilarians and ringing up their girls back home. Disgusting. There can't be such a thing as a Jubilarian, people wouldn't really use that word at Harvard, would they? You used to walk into the Freshman Union and pick up a pamphlet entitled "Fellow Jubilarian--" and everyone would snicker; but they used it, yessir, people walked around that weekend going where the Jubilarians went, doing what good Jubilarians were supposed...
...Stanford and serving as an Army lieutenant, he got his first film job as production assistant on his father's 1957 version of The Sun Also Rises. In 1962, Darryl Zanuck, after taking charge of Fox, put his son then 27-in charge of production. Cynical studio executives snickered about the son still rising. They snicker no longer.

Mozart has acquired a pristine aura of impeccable glory, but, like Abraham Lincoln, he loved dirty jokes and puns-which he enjoyed setting to utterly fastidious music for the eternal amusement of the world's musicologists. Now ordinary fans can snicker along, for this album provides everything from Leek mich am Arsch! Goethe . . . (Kiss My Behind! Goethe . . . ) to Liebes Mandel, wo ist's Bandel? (Lovey-Dovey, Where's My Glovey?). The English translations may be rough, but then so are the sentiments; Norman Luboff directs a crew of singers...
...through Eaux d' Artifice, a film disappointingly about fountains. The old gentleman, who apparently had seen Scorpio Rising before, attempted to quiet the group's unrest. "Never you mind," he told his followers, squinting down a neighboring dress with his one good eye, "They'll be on that screen (snicker) in the Lord's good time." The religious reference disturbed a young rebel next to him, who sank back in his seat combing his 1956 ducktail, and angrily staring at the more Modish haircuts of the collegians...
