Subject	Topic	Quote
Health		For example, among the 1.5 million older people living in nursing homes, the prevalence of depression is high. Despite the special vulnerability among the old in nursing homes and despite the federal regulation that a facility must ensure that, "A resident who displays mental or psychosocial adjustment difficulty receives appropriate treatment and services . . .," few nursing homes have the staff capability to intervene in appropriate and timely fashions. (references)
Business		However, younger consumers and women with higher income are more receptive to the latest trends and fashions. (references)
		As fashions change fast, homes do, too. Germans have become more mobile and, consequently, tend to refurbish their home more often. (references)
Economic History	Japan	Also, consumer styles and fashions emanate from Tokyo in avidly read magazines as well as the television networks. (references)
Political Economy	Mexico	The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the largest and oldest political party, likes to claim the center of Mexican politics, but in reality the party has often modified its ideology to fit political fashions. (references)
Lexicography	Devil's Dictionary	IDIOT, n. A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot's activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole." He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.
