Carried away? are you crazy? ttLook, you gotta ease up on people. They can only take so much truth. Then they start to crack under the strain. Be- sides, youtll never get what you really want to say printed. ttWhat happened to freedom of the press? What happened to journalistic integrity? What happened to the First Ammendment? wThink whattll happen to sales if you tell people what you really think. uOh .. . yeahf' ttRightP ttMaybe we could work in something about school spirit, or the tAmerican way,.,, Sounds good to me?
