...much explicit sexuality. Too much implicit innuendo. Too much immorality. Too much controversy. Free expression is fine and dandy, MTV officials explained, but this time, Madonna has gone too far. At least that's what our advertisers tell...

...explicit sexuality goes, it's pretty tame. A nipple here, a nuzzle there--we're not talking hard-core pornography. As far as implicit innuendo goes, there's nothing too shocking, either.

HARVARD-RADCLIFFE RAZA sometimes becomes fearful of dissent within its ranks and intolerant of those who voice unpopular or controversial views.

As surely as if it were coming from a group of children on a playground, this sort of collective tantrum is intended to show that the organization will "play no more" with those who rock the communal boat. It also aims to make campus life uncomfortable for others who are content with the racial status...
