"Gather experience. . . Look at what you should not look at. A feeling of anxiety is the sure and certain evidence that you should do this." Barker performed a disection at a funeral home, for the sake of understanding death at close hand. |
'On the Road' is a seminal book that gave voice to a whole generation -- capturing its hunger for experience, unwillingness to accept imposed truths and dissatisfaction with the status quo. It is as modern today as it was four decades ago. |
'Silent Assassin,' that's pretty much what he is. Because he's coming out of nowhere. He's consistent. You can depend on him. People had a question mark at that position after Antonio Pierce left. He's stepped in and done an excellent job. |
(Fleury) played well, but after a game like this, the bottom line is that we have to look at the way we played and the mistakes we made. If we want to make the playoffs, this is the kind of game we just can't have at this time of the year. |

(We presented the) $600 million plan for the benefit of our rate payers. We thought we had an agreement. The credit agencies, the rating agencies, those are key to us. The more damaging effects to us, the more costly it is to borrow money. |
(When choosing a place to live) you have to listen to your family and find out what is important to them ... you might be more comfortable in an enclave of fellow expatriates who have your way of thinking and whom you are comfortable with. |
