Option three is to get post-modern, calling into question the basis of language itself. This is especially useful when asked simple factual question, like "what happened in 1776?" This can be met with a response like, "well, when we say 1776, do we see a 'number' representing the 'past,' or instead a sort of cultural signifier, a construction, a totality, if you will, that distorts as much as it reveals. What do you think?" Then smile...
...matter what style is chosen in this instance--boring Bauhaus, bogus Georgian, post-modern melange or glass box--a building of this proposed size can only be enormous. The resulting increase in traffic and parking would be only another intractable problem added to the whole...
Thomas B. Cotton's introduction of the Habermasian discourse-theoretic idea into a political dialogue of this nature presupposes the existential (and, for that matter, the essential) dialogues of a pre-political discursive space ("Habermas Had Descended," Dec. 5).

By taking up the discourse on race, Cotton also makes the mistake of intertwining alternative discourses in ways which portray them...

He has declared that his magazine will no longer publish stories or photos of manufactured events, though he admits the concept of an event's construction is itself open to interpretation as a matter of degree.

And he has come to the K-School to show the world...

The last three numbers on the album are almost depressing, with LeBon sounding more like a narrator in a post-modern after-school special that a jet-fueled pop star. "So Long Suicide," "Michael You've Got a Lot ot Answer For" and the questionably titled "Undergoing Treatment" seem to delve into a musical "mathmos" so reminescent of the movie whence the Durans sprung...
