I loved it. It was fun saying hi to people. When someone would ask what I was doing there, I would say I was going car-to-car trying to get viewers. A couple days later, I heard on the news that there was a major traffic backup at the tunnel. Imagine the problems I could have created. |
'The Feminine Mystique' was huge in terms of its national and international impact on society. It was like a spark on tinder and helped light the fire of the women's movement. It had solid academic foundations even though she wasn't an academic. It was the right book at the right time. |
(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.) / Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was. |
(Mr. Johnson), like many officials in his position, have been scratching their heads as these small (wireless Internet) interests are campaigning to install wireless networks in cities throughout Silicon Valley. But we want what happens in Menlo Park to be consistent with another city. |
(On people like "St. Jimmy") A friend of mine was saying how he had a friend, ya know just one of those guys who would fly off the handle and, when they were really young, his parents had this brand new coffee table and he's sitting there, and he just took a knife and wrote "Eat Sh*t". |
(Pre-draft trades) do happen from time to time, like Denver and San Francisco. But a lot of the reasons teams don't do picks for picks before the draft is because you want to go on the clock. You want to see if anyone calls during your allotted time because you might get a better deal. |
(Virginia) is almost like a mirror image of us. They play a lot like we do. Their guard play is very good. Their post guys are very physical. They're aggressive and they play extremely hard. Dave's done a great job of getting those guys to believe they can be successful in this league. |
[? In Mount Vernon, the sixth-grade will move from the elementary schools to the middle school next year.] Regardless of (what grade) they move into the middle school, we cannot discontinue the nurturing, ... Young people during this age are seeking identity; they need to be supported. |
[Across the room, longtime Angels outfielder Tim Salmon talked about what Washburn has meant to the team this season.] I'm sure he would have liked to have performed better, but you know what, ... He's still a great competitor, and we feed off him. He's the heart and soul of this team. |
[Along with a gallery of photos displayed throughout, the book comes with a DVD that has save-for-your-grandchildren moments, like a mini-documentary on Shepard's first flight, as well as some whimsical moments with elaborate practical jokes.] Levity is lubricant of crises, ... gotcha. |

[Another option, although many players are reluctant to use it, is to have ballpark security personnel remove abusive fans.] I don't like kicking fans out, because they paid money to get in, ... But if I came to their work and swore at them and talked about their moms, that isn't good. |
[Davis is] another good back, and I'm just here to spot him coming off the injury and everything. We're just taking it easy and going from there. [Third down] has been my role right now. But Stephen Davis is a good back and I just try to, whenever they get me in there, answer the call. |
[Discrimination isn't always conscious, or maybe it's just absent-minded.] I don't believe for a minute anybody allowed people to suffer because they are African Americans, ... Nobody, especially the president, would have left people unattended on the basis of race. |
[Even so,] While sales are slightly below their peak levels of late 1998, this sector has hardly suffered a body blow from the run-up in long-term mortgage rates, ... Until the housing sector slows significantly, it is far too premature to look for a broad-based slowing in the economy. |
