...Universes within universes - the interdependency of all living things everywhere - is Geisel's theme in Horton. In the Jungle of Nool something foreign lands on a piece of clover. It's not a spaceship but an entire alien world: the nearly infinitesimal planet of Who-ville. Horton the elephant, his large ears giving him the most acute hearing, detects cries from the clover speck. He can't see the little Whos, but he deduces, believes, knows that sentient creatures are in there; and his caring instinct tells him that they must be protected. He builds a rapport with the tiny...
...This theme is one that Hsieh is pounding home on the campaign trail. At a late-February rally of 100,000 people at a Taipei stadium, Hsieh painted Ma's position toward China as a sure way of undermining Taiwan's economy and squashing its democratic ideals and hopes for independence.

The move is the latest example of an increasing University focus on connections between disciplines, a theme that has led to the development of cross-campus planning committees in science and bioengineering. “Partly what it means to be a school of engineering is to increase our strength in areas where we have not invested before,” Faust said...
...like seduction than desperation. After the intro, the camera cuts to a mix of shots featuring Ashanti in different rooms and outfits; home videos of her with her man, photos of said man being unfaithful, and a murder scene all flash before the viewer’s eyes. This theme is another deviation from the typical Ashanti video, in which relationships always work out and the man doesn’t want to be with any other chick but Ashanti. Also, in this video, there’s no elephant. The basic plot is simple enough to follow. Girl loves...
