...source of a team's motivation can either be the players themselves or the coach. In Harvard's case, neither source existed--Coach Tom Sanders obviously doesn't believe in acting as the motivating factor, for implicit in his way of basketball thinking is the idea that the players should be able to motivate themselves, without any excess patting on the back from the coach. This way of thinking is consistent with his whole low-key approach to the game. Whether it produces victories is questionable...
THERE ARE NO mistakes in this Alchemist no gimmicks or compromises or implicit apologies for one of the classic warhorses of English comedy. It won't have you rolling in the aisles, though it probably wasn't Jonson's intention to get that sort of response--he wanted to instruct as well as amuse. He placed himself squarely in the center of his society, defending true values against all comers front all directions--Puritan and libertine, meek fool and overbearing lout. He played the down-to-earth Aristotle to Shakespeare's Plato, attacking anyone who deviated from his golden mean...

The defense argued that the death of the fetus is implicit in any abortion; the prosecution charged that abortion means only the termination of pregnancy and does not necessarily imply the death of the fetus as well.

Ironically, Strindberg takes a traditionally comic situation--a mother and daughter in love with the same man--and uses it, to extract the themes that pervade all four chamber plays: the world is as cruelly fraudulent as the mother in the play, guilt is implicit in life, and death--"the final settling of accounts"--is the one escape route...
...conspicuousness and our conspicuous scarcity at Harvard, teach us the implicit lesson that we women do produce bright, charming "exceptional" females; but that our best and brightest are hatched in woefully smaller numbers than those of the male variety. And so we work at Harvard, forsaking our more equally distributed, humiliatingly less lauded sisters in the badlands remote from magical Cantabrigia. We get smarter and more self assured and "Cliffie" or every year, so that by the time we are ready to graduate, words like oppression and sexism, feminism and sisterhood sound a little overstated, or a little irrelevant...
