If the Roberts confirmation is a foregone conclusion, why look like a knee-jerk obstructionist? ... Its far better to preserve the appearance of being fair-minded and try to convince the president he has a chance to get your vote if he nominates someone to your liking. It also gives you the ability to oppose the next nominee with greater credibility. |
If they should get into an accident, your insurance will protect you. It will be primary. If the other person also has insurance, their insurance is going to be secondary. So in the event there is bad accident and driver or passengers of the other car sue you, it is your own insurance that will be used first and then the driver's will be used second. |
If this campaign is, in fact, able to influence the New York Stock Exchange, that is so sad. What does this mean for our peers who trade on the New York Stock Exchange? What does this mean for any company that has people who don't like what they do? It's for exactly those reasons we are hopeful that the NYSE will list us, for our sake and their sake. |
If we have a lead in the seventh inning and you're throwing him two innings and Frankie one, we're looking pretty good, ... Everybody knows what Escobar can do, and he's giving guys like myself and Brendan Donnelly some rest. And if you look at what we've done the past few weeks, we're as strong as we've ever been. That's a pretty good thing to have. |
If you look at the macro picture of what the market has done the last two days, it's been completely driven by momentum buyers, ... You've had two or three days of very strong performance and then coming into a weekend, people are just taking a bit off the table. It's a healthy neutral day. The bias is that it's much better to buy than it is to sell. |
If you look from 1992 to 1997, we've really reduced the number of car models from more than 100 to about 81. Our strategy is to have the right number of products. Segment the brands better. There's a lot of work being done on the distribution side of the business. And the data's showing that our new products are doing a very decent job in the market. |
In a sense I do feel very privileged. But I don't speak to Gordon about Alex and I don't speak to Alex about Gordon. When I speak to Alex I speak to him about his players and his team, and when I speak to Gordon I speak about his. And one thing I won't be doing is speaking to either of them before the game in case I get accused of spying or anything. |
In examining the hottest markets for home-price appreciation, we see a rolling boom moving from one metro area to another over time, as well as a spillover effect into nearby areas with lower home prices, ... That is spreading the wealth of housing returns, with a natural ease of appreciation in areas following a period of extraordinary price growth. |
In her lifetime, (Rice) said she wrote several million poems. The reason for that is she didn't write her letters in prose but in verse. If there was a death in the family, or a wedding or a newborn baby, her gift was a poem. She wrote 75 books and was one of the world's most prolific poets. Her poetry has been translated into 20 different languages. |
In our sum-of-the-parts valuation, we estimate that intrinsically, the stock could be worth as much as $27 a share, if all of the value were unlocked, ... While its is unclear whether management will choose to or be able to unlock some or all of this 'hidden' value, the company stated that it is conducting a strategic evaluation on all of its assets. |
In our view, ROCE (return on capital employed) continues to be the best overall measure of financial performance given the long-term capital -intensive nature of our industry. I would be cautious of anyone who tries to de-emphasize it. Some seem to have focused on other metrics to guide what they view to be in the best interest of their shareholders. |
In some districts, there is a view that a building is just something that keeps the rain out. We aren't given access to the curriculum folks. Some schools might say, 'A good teacher can teach anywhere,' but a good teacher will do a better job in a good facility. I wish every district felt strongly that design makes a difference in how students learn. |
In the circumstance where we do make an arrest, we?re taking the place of a little child. And, it?s kind of fun to get these guys before they can get a real kid. There?s a lot of satisfaction when you see their face go from shock to horror, and then to hear their story of why they are there. People will throw their lives right down the tubes for sex. |
In the NHL these days, you don't get surprised by too much. When we went and got Cory Stillman , you could kind of see it coming that something might not work out. We still had hopes that they would get both of them signed -- that would've been really good. That's the business of hockey right now, and other teams go through the same thing every year. |
In the year since we first addressed this Assembly, our country has been severely challenged, both by man and by nature. I am proud to say that our 11 Indian tribes in Wisconsin joined people of Wisconsin's cities, towns and villages, responding swiftly, courageously and generously - giving what they had, to help our relatives during their adversity. |
