...It is our hope that we will be able to encourage the developed countries to recognize that it is in their interest to bring poverty alleviation in the developing world because we are one world, and unless we get stability and growth in the developing world, we are not going to have a peaceful world, |

(Brown) got off to a slow start, but he has come a long way; his work ethic at practice ? he likes it up here. He's gotten a better understanding of our game week by week. He plays strong defense and he's really had some clutch performances. When we need a basket, he's usually the guy who gets it done. |
(The) vast majority of the machines infected...are home computers. Nothing will happen on them until people get home from work and boot up their machines. We'd like to think that they whole problem was avoided and everybody cleaned up their machines in time. But unfortunately, that's probably not true. |
[? Nicole Kidman may have lost interest in playing Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss. But Fleiss is still a fan.] She's fine to play me at any age, ... I still wish it was Nicole. Even though it's about me, I don't want to see the movie. But I do have a financial interest in it. So I hope it does very well. |

[At one point in Wednesday's news conference at the Arizona Biltmore Resort, site of this week's NFL annual meeting, Cardinals vice president Rod Graves even was asked if any part of Smith's contract was tied to ticket sales.] There is nothing in this particular contract about that, ... Thank goodness. |
[But with the specter of next week's Federal Reserve meeting looming, most gains came from options trading, said Art Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co.] For the last two weeks, the market has been focused on the Fed, ... That's still the case today, and it's going to be the case Monday too. |
[Eyre] has a lot of the same attributes makeup-wise that [Dempster] has. He's a gutsy guy, wants the ball every day. He's not intimidated if it's a right-handed hitter or a left-handed hitter. His efforts the last few years have been tremendous. We felt he was the perfect fit for us from the left side. |
[For Behar, the therapy was successful and her cholesterol levels came down.] It was almost like the kind of high you get when you drop some weight, ... [The weight loss] was like in two months and how much [weight] could you lose in two months, 5 pounds? You know it was like weight loss but it wasn't. |
[He also managed to squeeze in some sightseeing: visiting the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall.

[Johnson signed the Social Security Act amendments creating the Medicare and Medicaid programs on July 30, 1965. While the debate had raged for a decade about how Medicare would work,] there wasn't any thought given to Medicaid, ... There wasn't a hell of a lot of forethought to what the package meant. |
[Johnson?s father, who had a fourth-grade education, worked all his life at a creosote plant operating on the banks of the creek. He took the little bit of money he made to feed his family and buy a piece of land.] By the time he retired, ... his lungs were completely eroded, eaten up. He just made 70. |
[Jones is] the best tackle in the game, hands down. A lot of offensive tackles are good at one thing, like pass protection. But what makes him better than anyone else is you've got to bring your 'A' game against his run-blocking, too. He has no weaknesses. You've got to bring it every snap against him. |
