Though the process of creating a grass photo itself is something of a science, Ackroyd and Harvey turned to purely scientific enquiry to overcome a flaw in the material. Like photographic paper, an image printed on grass will fade if it is not fixed in some way. The images Ackroyd and Harvey created would last only as long as the chlorophyll (the green pigment) lived. Once the grass died, so did the chlorophyll and the image would fade in a relatively short period of time, several months at most. So Ackroyd and Harvey teamed up with scientists to overcome...
Unfortunately, not all the movements are totally synchronized, especially those occurring during the silence. Despite this flaw, the piece remains powerful, and the dancers in Braxton-Brooks’ segment begin to win the audience over with conventions that audience members aren’t bound to recall from the time they saw The Nutcracker at age eight...

The simple, lilting 6/8 trochaic rhythm was stretched out with too much rubato, completely obliterating the evocations of Medieval troubadours and trouvères. Despite this flaw, Kissin still managed to play one of the most problematic and unidiomatic piano works like it was the easiest thing in the world, without changing a single note (unlike Horowitz, whose infamous reworking of Pictures remains controversial to this...
...even if we don’t know what their actions are. This is the “I’m running on my record” argument, that says that politicians are self-interested individuals who expect to be rewarded with re-election for good behavior. The flaw in this argument is that if we are not—as Bush said we might not be—informed should America’s anti-terrorist operations be successful, we will have no basis on which to judge our representatives come Election Day. And if we find...
...Gore side has made its mistakes. Gore's people should have insisted on a full recount, not cherry-picked counties and a no-dimpled-chad standard. They should have conceded that there is not a remedy for every flaw - the butterfly ballots creating Jews for Buchanan, Republicans being allowed to fix Republican absentee-ballot applications...
