...Army National Guard, serving in Iraq, I thought he would appreciate my telling you what he carries. It's a small Celtic cross. He got one for himself, my mom, me, my two brothers and my sister. We all wear them on chains around our necks--except he wears his with his dog tags. We wear them so we can keep him in our hearts, and he can keep...
...still love him. It takes him about a nano-second to find her and about the same amount of time to discover that she has been ill used by fate. Soderbergh and Attanasio notice that there is a rough analogy between this pair and Casablanca's Rick and Ilsa--except (and it's a big exception) that Lena, unlike Ilsa, has become hard, manipulative and utterly selfish. Also, she doesn't just need ditsy letters of transit. She's involved in the more cosmic issue of the competition between the Russians and the Americans for the services of German rocket...
...Joseph Porter, K.C.B., First Lord of the Admiralty, whose extended title reveals all you need to know about his character. Polk gives Sir Joseph a dynamic face and a manner of self-satisfied delight which, along with Sir Joseph’s firm belief that all Englishmen are equal, except himself, create a character who is irresistibly charming despite his obnoxious manner.Miller provides lively choreography for his all-male crew of sailors, who start off the act with their strong voices and are onstage for most of the show.

...Vilsack will run as centrist with a record of success in a red state, the exact same message that Bayh has - except the Indiana Senator and former governor can also point to his years in the Senate for the foreign policy experience that Vilsack lacks.

In 1991-1992, Bill Clinton could run as a different, new kind of Democrat because many in the party didn...
...much can be said of U.S. President William Henry Harrison, except that he died thirty days into his term from a cold and penned the phenomenally catchy “Tippecanoe and Tyler too,” paving the way for the exploitative forces of rhyme and alliteration in campaign slogans. His wittiness outlived him, and so let this be a lesson to the UC hopefuls: in campaigns, slogans are tantamount to success. Save the platform, give me rhymes! Thomas D. Hadfield ’08 seems to agree, which is why he and S. Adam Goldenberg...
