...creation of the State of Israel. Like Sharon, he is a longstanding hawk who has moved steadily towards the center, even winking at the left, over the past decade. Indeed, over the past two years, before they quit Likud to form Kadima, Olmert's role had often been to float trial balloons for his boss, articulating controversial positions on ceding territory to the Palestinians that would later be adopted by Sharon himself...
...John Hardy factory is 21st century, the John Hardy home could be the future?or at least the Hardy vision of a sustainable, luxurious future. The entire structure is built of recycled hardwoods, including old ironwood telephone poles. It appears to float above an organic garden, and the ground floor has no walls, allowing for an unobstructed view over endless rice paddies...
...issues. The Institute of Politics group H-Vote tries desperately to get students registered to vote locally, but we make up only two percent of the voting public come election time, despite being a potentially decisive voting bloc.We value the city instead for its pit-stops, between which we float like bees pollinating, forming only the vaguest impression of the community around us, from Felipe’s, to Staples, to ABP. It would hardly be surprising to find that most Harvard students think the Cambridge streets are constructed of junk food and cheap stationary. We see the place...

But in the same statement, SEPA said that Jilin officials didn't notify their counterparts in Heilongjiang until...
...like track numbers (the album is premixed, as opposed to remixed), and nuggets of dance history--from the sample of Abba's Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! that anchors the massively catchy first single, Hung Up, to the buried bars of Like a Prayer that pop up for a few seconds--float by like glittery party favors. But what you notice most is the pure ecstasy of sound. It's not a Phil Spector--type wall but a galaxy, filled with collisions and comets zooming from speaker to speaker...
