1. epitome

   An abridgment gives the most important portions of a work substantially as they stand. An outline or synopsis is a kind of sketch closely following the plan. An abstract or digest is an independent statement of what the book contains. An analysis draws out the chief thoughts or arguments, whether expressed or implied. A summary is the most condensed statement of results or conclusions. An epitome, compend, or compendium is a condensed view of a subject, whether derived from a previous publication or not. We may have an abridgment of a dictionary, but not an analysis, abstract, digest, or summary. We may have an epitome of religion, a compendium of English literature, but not an abridgment.

1. Columnist Michael Harriot:

   He successfully got applause for doing something that meant nothing and I think that’s kind of like the epitome of what the NFL has become. They scrawled ‘end racism’ in the end zone but they will kick Black people out of the league for talking about or pointing at the problem that racism gives America, right? So I think he did it but it doesn’t mean anything. It’s too late now.

2. Les Otten:

   To say the vote of any American is irrelevant is the epitome of hypocrisy.

3. Harris Faulkner:

   They are the epitome of Squad goals. Thanks guys.To the organizers of the Multicultural Media Correspondents Association, I want to thank you for recognizing my work and the way that I do the work. Because, the work itself is something that we're all doing. But the specificity that each one of us brings from our upbringing, failures, victories and values is the potent mix that makes us compelling and memorable voices in media, thank you for adding me to MMCA’s list of those getting it done.

4. Shailene Woodley:

   You are the epitome of the word selfless, you did something knowing you wouldn't be able to come home, knowing that your country would have very mixed feelings and yet your integrity on what you believe was right or wrong or should be public knowledge was more important to you than almost your own comfortability and the life that you had lived for so long. So I would like say thank you to him.

5. Mo Canady:

   What happened last Monday is atrocious. I dont now how someone who wears a uniform, like I used to do, could get to that point. Thats evil, but ... I think theres some shortsightedness here. When its done right, the SRO program really is the epitome of community-based policing. I hate to see the baby thrown out with the bathwater.
