the greatest ice cube

• Spectators stood for hours in lines that stretched for blocks, to get a glimpse of the greatest ice cube, in the exhibition entitled "The Greatest Ice Cube: the Exhibition."

• Every evening, all evening, for weeks, the nation was riveted by the televised conference, featuring critics, professors, celebrities, politicians, heads of business, leaders of civil society and philanthropy, artists, scientists, scholars and philosophers, who discussed from all angles: What makes this ice cube so very great?

• Historians and statesmen convened a blue ribbon panel to consider the question:  How will we ensure that our grandchildren, and our grandchildren's grandchildren, and so on, behold and admire the greatest ice cube?
