...back to Gertie the Dinosaur, Krazy Kat and Mickey Mouse, through the classic Warner Bros. cartoons and up to Disney's The Lion King, Pixar's A Bug's Lifeand of course Happy Feet: stick to animals. When stylized artfully, they have so much more wit and personality than mere human beings. Not having to attempt a duplication of reality liberates a good animator's imagination. In KFP you'll see this in the spectacular fight scenes, but also in the character sketching, in the subtlety of glances and gestures...
...candidacy has itself broken the strongest barriers imposed upon women aspirants for office, more surprising is the fact that she has drawn voters based upon her national security credentials. For generations, female politicians struggled to convince the electorate of their ability to serve as commander-in-chief. A mere eight years ago, 70 percent of respondents told a Roper poll that they believed a male president would perform better on foreign policy issues...
...mash-up of compromises that is essentially a redux of the old Core. A scant 37 Gen Ed courses have been approved for the 2008-2009 academic year, and only seven more for the following fall. Despite being set to supplant the long-criticized Core curriculum by 2009, a mere 60 proposals have even been submitted, many of which are nothing more than adapted Core courses. Meanwhile, continuing efforts to get professors to adapt their courses to the dying Core system have proven to be largely inadequate...
Although the space crunch is a real problem, transfer students are a relatively small part of the student body. Given that 1,308 students competed this year for a mere 40 estimated transfer spots, admitted students could easily be spread across all 12 houses with minimal disturbance. Using temporary or graduate housing, cutting the size of the incoming freshman class, or reopening housing in Massachusetts Hall (which the College plans to do) would be more effective in confronting the housing constraints...
...handful of states with early primaries and caucuses—rendering the contests of states that vote late in the schedule almost meaningless. Most undemocratic has been the superdelegate system, which may, for the first time in recent electoral history, determine the candidate for the Democratic Party. One mere vote from a superdelegate at the Democratic convention may just as valuable as the thousands of votes cast by individual citizens, despite the tenets of democracy that champion the notion of one man one vote. Further complicating the democratic process was a misguided Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality...
