Peter J. Boyer, New Yorker, 14 Nov. 2005
Peter J. Boyer, New Yorker, 14 Nov. 2005 also : a group or organization that has a widely inclusive composition or character

Nicholas Confessore, New York Times Book Review, 15 Oct. 2006 Thrilled as they may still be with their victory, many Democrats are now realizing that … their future depends on a tricky proposition: actually becoming the centrist, big-tent party they've spent two years claiming to be. Jonathan Darman et al., Newsweek, 20 Nov. 2006
