For example, the famous “‘Peplos’ Kore,” (c. 530 B.C.E.), a Greek statue of a young...
...analyst Elliott Stonecipher. "I think one of two things is happening: Either people are so beat up and turned off that they just don't care. Or they're just biding their time. They know exactly what they're going to do. They're going to turn out, in normal numbers at least, and vote against most of the incumbents...
