...matter of style is obvious: he talks too much, and often imprudently. At the Durham house party, Biden wandered garrulously through a series of themeless anecdotes, which were often interrupted by other anecdotes, punctuated by gloppy attempts at folksiness ("As my mother used to say, 'No purgatory for you-it's straight to heaven!'") and the occasional condescending, syllabic pronunciation of a key word: "It's about di-PLO-ma-cee, folks...
...Schwarzenegger could revive their party the way another actor turned politician, Ronald Reagan, did when he got into the Governor's race 37 years ago. But now they fear that dream is slipping away. The campaign that got off to a brilliant start on the Tonight show is becoming themeless and error prone.

The limited range of media displayed was probably due to the cramped gallery space, but the works exhibited in Themeless Show were overwhelmingly the products of artists whom the gallery has exhibited earlier. Given the large number of student artists on campus, it is lamentable that only a few monopolize Harvard's only student gallery...
