...such history happens to be the present, all the better. Making sense becomes a labor of modern context, a labor of love. Like people, works of art might suddenly have something to do with the Internet, politics of the body and multi-national corporations. The only real problem with thinking the present historically is that, sooner or later, everything looks...
...Emmyis first job was a shoot for Leviis. The problem? She couldnit roller skate. As a solution, one of the camera crew pulled her around the rink backwards. Though she has moved on from roller skating rinks, Emmy says that she is still often typecast as the short, cute 17-year-old.

Which brings...
...dilemma they reach--whether to support an aged chain or an expanding corporation--touches a problem modern conservatives face frequently in the real world: Given that one should, generally speaking, preserve traditions, how long must something be around to qualify as a tradition? Jurists who stand by the original understanding of the constitution face the same difficulty when deciding precisely when stare decisis starts to apply. Most have recourse to judicial prudence: When a decision has become so embedded in everyday life that overturning it would cause chaos, the decision should stand, no matter how poor the ruling...
