...DirecTV. This proposal is not a whimsical claim of entitlement to better television; it is a refreshingly motivated and entirely student-funded project that will fill an embarrassing gap in the quality of student accommodation. The administration should allow this system to be installed in dorms across campus and refrain from paternalistic regulation. Some say that installing such a regulatory system to curbe the audio-visual appetite of students is desirable because television is a roadblock to social, extracurricular, and academic endeavors that make Harvard such a vibrant place.

...campaign was trying to highlight a certain diversity in its platform, the speech fulfilled expectations. He ticked off the full roster of issues: from alternative energy (good!) to Social Security (must be fixed), from the war on terror (necessary) to technology (more of it!). It even featured a catchy refrain that sounded a lot like someone running a campaign against an incumbent rather than, as we used to say, "the presumptive nominee": "That's not good enough for America. And when I'm President, it won't be good enough...
