...seems that the Narthex of the Lampoon went over to "check out the scene" at University Hall at around midnight in the midst of the SDS occupation. He found the radicals so boring that he fell asleep in a big leather chair upstairs in the faculty room with his double-breasted blue blazer wrapped around him. He awoke when the police were at the door; by then the otiose Poonie didn't have a chance of leaving the building as the stairways were crowded with police-ready militants...

...brassy sound of the studio band cuts off, the lights go down, a spotlight flicks on, picks up the broad back of a big man wearing a black frock coat, striped pants, patent-leather boots and a six-string guitar.

Gone is the Old World elegance of the earlier Queens, with their majestic paneled sitting rooms, heavy leather-covered chairs and bronze statuary. It has been replaced by the chrome and Naugahyde of modern design, ranging in taste from contemporary elegance to Las Vegas gaudy. "Restaurants" have replaced dining rooms, and even that venerable man for all needs, the purser, has been redesignated the "hotel manager." Though the QE2 will maintain two classes (first and "standard") on her transatlantic runs, she will cruise the Caribbean as a classless society nine months of the year...

...makes him feel better, even though grass is supposed to be a depressant. He smokes to make himself less stoned. One ounce and a water-pipe. He climbed into a black leather easy-chair, the black chick sat down on his lap, and started to play with his hair. She took the pipe and wide-eyed as Sambo sucked on it. She coughed...
