- or even some examples of possible usage:
"I'd like to roast those MAINSTREAM poets Upton Raworth and Sutherland
over a slow fire...."
"U.A.Fanthorpe shook herself dry as she finally extricated herself from
the MAINSTREAM and rushed off into the undergrowth of the avant-garde"
"Rear Admiral O'Brien delivered another scathing attack on the dangerous
radicalism of the MAINSTREAM tendency"
"It was a bright May morning. As I walked along the banks I saw a group of
newly-hatched poets snapping and yelping - eager to jump right out of the
MAINSTREAM"
"our bombers flew further missions last night but were hampered by the
heavy layers of MAINSTREAM which hid the targets"
"'Carry on wallowing around in the MAINSTREAM like that, Motion and
Armitage, and you'll never amount to anything' snorted the housemaster"
"Yea, though we longed to enter Jordan we were held back because we
couldn't cross the MAINSTREAM"
and so on...
