...Ultimately, feminists cannot opine on the precarious line between sexy and sexism without legislating the location of that line itself and, therein, relinquishing all claims to the universality of their conclusion. Indeed, modern feminism, with its valorization of the lived experiences of women, esteems individual subjectivity too highly to provide a satisfactory answer. That is not to say that this valorization is an inherently bad, or even flawed, component of contemporary feminist thought.

...Alas, therein lies Target's problem. Things are so bad, even cheap clothes are a luxury now. Why pull a new shirt off the store rack when you can snatch one out of the closet for free?

But therein arises a contradiction: in order to feel as if they're really interacting, players have to believe they can truly go anywhere and do anything in Liberty City. At the same time, in order for a story to get told, they must be gently but firmly stage-directed through the plot. "You've got this beautiful 3-D world that lives," Houser says, "and it's got all these background characters...

...therein lies the nature of the yet-to-be-finalized compromise: the group might tolerate some form of education funding for cash-strapped states as long as it doesn't create a new permanent mandate. "The challenge is to bring enough Republicans over to make it bipartisan, given some differences of opinion about education being in the bill," Nelson said.
