The Iraqi people are in reach of a watershed transformation from the primitive, killing tyranny of Saddam to modern, self-governing, self-securing nationhood ? unless the great American military that has given them and us this unexpected opportunity is prematurely withdrawn. |
The jobs numbers will be less reliable. If they are stronger, people will say it's because people had to hire more workers because of Katrina and it's only temporary. And if it's weaker people will also say that it's Katrina-related, ... The Fed's job has just gotten harder. |
The Justice Department is starting to recognize that police departments have hundreds of thousands of rape kits ... If we didn't have to store rape kits for years and years because we didn't have the ability to analyze them all, we could stop criminals from repeating crimes. |
The key issue will be what kind of power the Sunnis get from these numbers when it comes to negotiations about the government. What kind of cabinet posts will they get? How will resources be distributed? What kind of representation will they have in patronage and government? |
The key question is what triggered the hospitalization. Was it the unsatisfactory end of a relationship with her boyfriend? The defense could argue that [the victim] acts irrationally and destructively when she experiences the unsatisfactory end of a relationship with a man. |
The kids played well. Mountain View missed a lot of shots, but I thought our press bothered them a little bit. We tried to keep it out of the middle and I think we did a pretty good job. We stress defense. If you play defense and play hard, you always give yourself a chance. |
The kids were mentally ready. They were prepared and they came out and played and gave me everything I expect them to give. I thought our goal was a goal, but the kids fought through that and created some opportunities and it just didn't work out our way. Odessa played good. |
The Korean financial industry is very dynamic and very competitive. The local banks have made significant progress in strengthening their balance sheets and are a lot stronger than when I arrived. There has also been a lot of consolidation in the industry with numerous M&As. |
The last four holes, we were playing straight into the sun and straight into the wind. I was looking at the clock, hoping, wondering, 'Can we finish today?' It would have been quite a tough day (Sunday) if we couldn't finish, have to get up early, finish and then start over. |
The last time I checked, we were one of two schools ... that had played against five top 50 teams in the country. The RPI that they're using for the NCAA tournament is largely based on strength of schedule and we were fourth out of 330 teams, so we've absolutely been tested. |
The Lawton play was exactly the kind of thing we've stressed all spring. You can't just sit back and wait. The other day, Raul went from first to third on a short ball to right. In both cases, last year we probably would have stayed put. This year, we want to apply pressure. |
The loss of Ron is a tremendous loss on so many levels. He symbolized the determination preservation needs to be successful with sensitivity and generosity. I think that is a unique combination. He sincerely cared, not just about preservation, but the way it affected people. |
The magnitude of the demand tells the retailer how to act and what to do. If a product is hot, clearly there's not going to be a markdown. But if demand suddenly slackens and there's still a lot of merchandise left in the store on that particular day, they will mark it down. |
The main thing is just to get him back where he's playing basketball. There's no timetable as to get him action for games. It's more for him mentally to get himself confident. We're hopeful that he can get back and help us and his mindset is right. It's nice to see him back. |
The main thing is to see how Brian does. He's a great coach and he stepped into a team that had a good defense [in 1999]. Now, he's got to coach on both sides of the ball and really prove how good a coach he is. It's going to be interesting to see what he can do from now on. |
