	Two, Three, Many Parties of a New Type?
		Of particular importance to us here are the distinction between the bourgeoisie in its several fractions on the one hand, and the petit-bourgeoisie on the other, and the distinction between a class and a class fraction (the component sections into which a class can be broken down).
		At the same time, we must distinguish between the monopoly bourgeoisie, which may be further broken down into predominantly industrial monopoly capital and predominantly banking monopoly capital, and the non-monopoly bourgeoisie in its several fractions.
		The "noisier declarations" betray a confusion between combatting the ideological influences of the petit-bourgeoisie on the proletariat and rallying sectors of the petit-bourgeoisie to the proletariat's banner, ensuring their sympathy, or simply their neutrality.

	Library of America: Henry David Thoreau: A Week, Walden, The Maine Woods, Cape Cod
		Of the differences between the first edition and the page proofs, some are corrections of typographical errors that Thoreau missed in proofreading, while others are a matter of house style or spelling conventions.

		In this case, as with the extant fragments of the "Allegash" draft, we have the author's last word, and it is thus possible to distinguish the printer's (or copyist's, or compositor's) errors and omissions from authorial revisions.

		Not to have in mind this full range would risk short-circuiting the consideration of what needs to be considered, for the traditional pattern of higher education out of which comes the term “undergraduate” is far from possessing the hegemony it once had and far from being the nearly universal paradigm it once was.
		between seeking and finding the meaning of a work—something objectively and permanently there in a text—and seeking and finding its significance -something which is relative and changeable and may be subjective.
		I do not believe that pulling and hauling between the interests students have and faculty have, between educational institutions and groups with special needs, and between divergent professional commitments has yielded an undergraduate English that is purposive and coherent.

	National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States
		Giving the NSC overall responsibility for coordination between the domestic and foreign policy agencies is appropriate since the mission of the NSC is national security; and it would be strange indeed if the principal national security threat we face today was seen as only partially within the ambit of the NSC.
		Today we face the dangerous possibility of having the worst of two worlds: the public fears that the government has a "fishing license" to acquire sensitive personal information regardless of its value to counter-terrorism, while government agencies are afraid to do anything lest they end up on the front page of the newspapers.
		International cooperation serves two vital purposes: it leverages our ability to take on adversaries who are spread across the globe; and it broadens the political legitimacy behind our counter-terrorism efforts, which is essential to the long-term success of defeating this adversary.

		Indeed, European politicians, dividing their time between courts, jails and debating chambers, have recently managed to give a whole new meaning to the expression 'conviction politics'."18 To sum up, Britain's eventual choice between the United States and the European Community may well affect political ideology and political practice beyond its borders.

	Embassy of Sudan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		At the heart of the argument was whether to isolate and "contain" Sudan or to engage it, hoping to foster change and achieve an end to its brutal civil war.
		From most accounts by participants in the debate, conversations between Sudanese and U.S. intelligence officials continued, with some occurring during the period in which the Vanity Fair article says intelligence information offered by Sudan was being rejected.
		The great divide of perception between those seeking to engage and those determined to isolate Sudan still dogs relations between the two countries and leaves a question mark hovering over the future.
