There are a number of questions related to this. First and foremost, we must continue to be deeply concerned about abuses to human rights wherever they occur; but, there are such questions as whether amelioration of those abuses is best achieved under the glare of public criticism and animosity and confrontation, or whether it is best achieved in a quieter dialogue between states with a healthy relationship...
...extremely faint objects, astronomers had to focus their light onto a photo-imaging tube akin to the night-vision devices used by the military in Viet Nam. This electronic gadgetry strengthens the signals and then stores them as electronic data in a computer, while it subtracts any disturbing background glare. Eventually the astronomers accumulated enough light to produce spectra, or light signatures, for all four galaxies, but that took considerable doing. The image of just one of the galaxies, known as 3C 427.1, required 40 hours of telescope time on 23 separate nights over a period of three years...
...plethora of interest groups emerges from the style of his prose. The need to qualify and justify stems from the need to appeal to a wide variety of constituents, ranging from the Faculty to administrators to majority students to minority students.

In fact, the professor added...

The policeman's eyes narrowed when he heard it. He searched Petya's pockets and found a Finnish coin about the size of a dime, but not quite as valuable. It surprised me that...
...Nabokov's first-person prose. First Stanley Kubrick in his 1962 movie, then some forgotten adapter in an early '70s musical, and now Edward Albee in this vulgarized comic drama have attempted to drag Nabokov's characters from the sheltering artistry of his novel into the coldly objective glare of the theater. It's beginning to become unpleasantly clear that Lolita's appeal to directors and audiences alike lies not in its author's literary fireworks or psychological insights but instead in the simple prurient appeal of pedophilia...
