...giant slalom, the super giant slalom combines speed with technical turns. Racers carve fast turns over a single course with at least 35 directional changes, at speeds of more than 60 m.p.h. (100 km/h). A morning inspection is allowed, but no practice run ? Some gates are closed (parallel to run) to force turns that control speed GIANT SLALOM 1,475 ft. (450 m) It?s a looser, faster version of the slalom, with wider turns. The fastest total time from two runs on different courses wins. Parabolic (hourglass-shaped) skis used for the past 15 years have allowed better...
...government's grip on power - in direct proportion to its impressive longevity. Canada, famous for hockey, waggish comedians and an unforgiving Arctic climate, is also home to one of the world's longest-ruling political parties. Canada's Liberals have reigned over the landmass stretching from the 49th parallel to the Arctic Ocean since 1993. In fact, the Liberals have held nearly unbroken power for most of the 20th century - a record that bolstered their claim to be the "natural" party of government. But even natural parties come to a natural end. The tipping point came from disclosures...
...both with garlands around their necks, to me it's very poignant about an era of two different choices about how you foster democracy but starting off with such hope and promise. I didn't realize when I started the book, how closely the two things were going to parallel, but essentially Johnson's presidency is destroyed over Vietnam, and to have him essentially give up and King killed in the same week, you know, I think history itself is telling us these are parallel stories. You put these two stories together and try to examine Vietnam and the Civil...
...appropriately sparse dialogue. Its lazy passage of time illuminates the characters’ cyclical misery as well. The plot jumps from year to year without the use of intertitles, as if the pain of Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Ennis’ (Heath Ledger) thwarted love exists on a continuum parallel to the emptiness of the Western skylines that dominate the film. If “Brokeback Mountain” says anything about rural America, it shows us that the dusty landscapes are crammed with repression and fear. Ledger, Gyllenhaal, Hathaway, and Dawson’s Creek starlet Michelle Williams...
These anecdotes are taken from Erich Segal’s novel “The Class,” which follows five Harvard undergraduates in the years 1954-1958. I find little need to explain the parallel of these stories to our lives as Harvard undergrads today...
