At the end of Impromptus today, I publish a note from a reader who once started a group on campus: Politically Incorrect Graduate Students, or PIGS. That’s one kind of “pig” I’d definitely like to be (and, come to think of it, was). A different reader now writes to remind us that Al Capp, in his L’il Abner, once invented a campus group: Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything, or SWINE.

Wildly indignant about everything (or even nearly everything) — that’s not so hot to be, I guess! But one can understand the feeling . . .
