...candidates is itself undesirable. Multiple tickets are important for the UC elections, injecting unconventional, innovative ideas into what otherwise can too easily deteriorate into stolid, insular debates. The competition allows issues and platforms to come to light that might otherwise be neglected in the dialogue of just a couple mainstream candidates. When the candidate pool is thick, minority viewpoints are given a voice and the most fundamental issues can be brought to light and discussed—for example, the elimination of the UC is the hallmark of Tim R. Hwang ’08 and Alexander S. Wong...
...images it is mixing are 35 years old. The theme of time, foreshortened or elongated, is a defining feature of Eno's musical and visual adventures. But it takes a long lens, pointing back, to bring into focus the ways in which his influence has seeped into the mainstream.

But church officials also calculate that Romney's bid to succeed George W. Bush could remind some mainstream Christians just how different Mormonism is from their faith and perhaps expose their flock to more of the sort of discrimination that drove their founders west by handcart and covered wagon into the Great Salt Lake Valley...
...four Oscar nominations before she turned 30, a feat no other actor has managed since Liz Taylor more than four decades ago. Second, she has got naked in more movies than any nonporn star of her generation. From Titanic, the movie that propelled her into the American mainstream, in which she posed for Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack, to Little Children, her Oscar play for this year, in which she and Patrick Wilson's character have a tumble--the first of many--on the tumble dryer, she has shown her willingness to bare all.
