...announced their plans to terminate their respective masterships. The AAC has noted that before these masters step down, the only masters of ethnic descent will have been Dunster House masters Karel and Hetty Liem. The AAC hopes that the new appointments for masters in Eliot and Kirkland Houses will alter this lopsided imbalance. To this end, the AAC intends to send a letter to the College administration requesting that they pay special consideration to potential masters who will contribute to the campus' ethnic diversity and who are interested in improving race relations on campus. This letter will also include...
...last commercial and Phil and Adam approached us again with toothy grins. The eleven o'clock show awaited. Behind him, an officious manager, chugging golden whiskey while sucking on cigarettes, hissed at us to be back to the set on time.

(Insert "Web"-slinging pun here...
...ability to alter what we see becomes more important when the line blurs between news organizations and their business-oriented owners. Corporate-media interactions always raise questions of bias, such as when Time magazine (owned by Time Warner) hyped the movie "Twister" and other, similarly mediocre Warner Brothers movies on its front cover. We expect that when a character in a daytime soap opera uses a well-known product, it might be a product that is advertised on the network...
