...amusement of the many, and to the general public's unwillingness to play "the good fairly" any longer. "Football common" was inflated by mob hysteria, he reasons, and is now being deflated by common sense. As a result, college athletics are headed toward a simpler and heal-their condition, where there will be more boys playing the game on the field than spectators watching them in the stands...

A magenta watercloset built all in one piece of porcelain stood alone on a green throne, simpler than Prajadhipok's. A seven-foot bathtub surnamed the Bourbon Luxury was flooded with soft lighting, framed in banks of peonies, on a marble stage. The National Association of Master Plumbers' annual exposition was definitely art-conscious. The Master Plumbers claimed that their "glorification of the unmentionable...
