...itself, but when placed in an essay on a specific subject very well might mean something to the grader. The true master of a generality is the man who can write a 10-page essay, which means nothing at all to him, and have it mean a great deal to anyone who reads it.

...uneasy compromise could mean an end to the latest Russia-Europe gas spat, and relief for the millions of people across vast swathes of Europe who have spent this week shivering. The deal was worked out Thursday after a confusing mesh of negotiations in Brussels, Prague, Kiev and Moscow.
