...Dole we have two candidates whose being is defined, whose views are shaped and whose success is measured by their ability to win votes. Clinton, who has been campaigning ceaselessly since junior high school, approaches politics as an obsessive host, something for this group, something for that set, an endless round of dim sum. Bob Dole, master of the Senate floor, is a tireless vote hound as well. When Dole says of legislation, as he always does, that he wants to "see how it looks" on the Senate floor, he isn't talking about the shape of a specific bill...
...what a long shadow Edward Hopper cast on American art. (It is a fair bet, though, that Hopper would have found Kienholz's raucousness and sexual satire detestable.)

This is how it will work...
...diversity" that Neil L. Rudenstine defends in his beautifully constructed and eloquent President's Report is an elusive concept. It simultaneously balances race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economics, geography, religion, sexual orientation, politics, disabilities, academic interests and family situation in an endless supermarket list of characteristics which defines...
