The freshman picturebook for the Class of 1987 contained a pic- ture of "Skywise," a bizarre car- toon character, who, the book said, was from Poughkeepsie, New York, - my hometown. Should I take that to imply that all the people from Poughkeepsie are bizarre and unreal?-The pic- turebook also contained Opus the penguin, a character in the comic strip Bloom County. Does that imply that the, Class of 1987 is full of comical penquins? The problem of offensensitivity is evident in the current furor over the registration day film.
