11.   Just as I was about to make some kind of a scene, however, I noticed that one kindly element seemed to be infiltrating these overwrought menus.

12.   The elements seem so right, so close, so cozily familiar.

13.   The fabulist elements seem symbolic of a Tibet that is about to be altered forever by entirely nonfabulist Communist Chinese.

14.   The international element seems especially significant on some campuses.

15.   This year, the elements seem aligned for another unpredictable tournament.

16.   Those improvisational elements always seemed a mistake and were happily dispensed with here.

17.   With much of the national media focus still on the Oklahoma City bombing, one element seems to have been pushed to the background.
