Such a mathematical anomaly requires explanation, but as far as I know, few mathematicians have been bold enough to attack the "Annenberg Paradox." The first to make such an attempt might have been Douglas Adams, world-renowned mathematician and author of the Hitchhiker's Guide series of books. His approach involved the highly interesting but as yet unapplied discipline of "bistromathics," which explains the strange fluctuations in mathematics that frustrate all attempts to calculate a restaurant check. Could the Annenberg Paradox merely be a special case of this theory...
Seton and Redmond pledge to take the approach that has worked on these smaller issues--working closely with and consistently pressuring the administration in a non-confrontational manner--to those student issues that, as we have long argued, are simply more important: advising, UHS reform and countering the effects of randomization by supporting student groups and thinking about a new student center. Both candidates also wisely support downsizing the council and are committed to improving Springfest by involving other student groups in its planning and breaking the event's tired mold...

She stalked the bosses of New York City department stores until she got some counter space at Saks Fifth Avenue in 1948. And once in that space, she utilized a personal selling approach that proved as potent as the promise of her skin regimens and perfumes...
