On the other hand ... back in 1969 when I was in a PoliSci 101 course I wrote a
(paraphrased - but, not directly copied) paper on reverse-racism which scored
an "A" and major brownie points with the instructor. The whole thing was
cribbed from a Playboy interview (footnotes and all).

... Why is it called "after dark" when it is really "after
light"???
