Stein's conjecture and other fair representation problems

Stein's conjecture states that if an n x n matrix has entries 1...n, 
where each symbol appears exactly n times, then there exists a 
generalized diagonal where all but two symbols appear exactly once. 

I will talk about this conjecture and other settings in which we 
look for a small structure proportionally representing the bigger 
structure from which it is taken.
