"That buzzing-noise means something. If there's a buzzing noise, somebody's making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee. .... And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey..... And the only reason for making honey is so as I can eat it." So he began to climb the tree. |
(Clemens) is tough enough to hit when it's over the plate and if he starts getting a big plate, that's going to be tough for us. I know in our ballpark, both Tim (McClelland) and Greg (Gibson), and I think Wally will, too, will call a good game and not get excited about the home crowd. You always worry when a guy has good command that he can get somebody excited. |
[A voice coach and a linguistics expert had interesting things to say, but, really, this was a good excuse to listen to some delicious voices and marvel at how Tony Blair so blatantly panders to the working classes with his erratic glottal stopping.] I have no repeatable thoughts about Blair as a voice, ... It seems to me he is a man of extraordinary affectation. |
[And if seeing the devastation wasn't bad enough, Johnston continued to worry about a friend whom he couldn't reach.] My friend lived closer to the water. Last I heard from him, he said he'd made a mistake staying; the water was rising and it was too late to leave, ... A woman I know went down to see the area, and it's devastated. I haven't heard from Dave since. |
[Apple] came along with the right interface and the right storage solution at the right time. You could make a pretty good argument that most of the players before the original iPod never did what they were advertised to do. You couldn't get one with enough flash memory, and it cost so much more than a CD player that there really wasn't any competitive advantage. |
[Assistant Principal Greg Owen said the students there will participate in some online activities and other fun-filled events as well.] We will learn about the U.S. Constitution and write a firsthand journalistic account as if they were there, ... Another project that will be taking place is a book report to review the book 'Shhh! We're Writing The Constitution.' |
[Bleak outlook from small business Challenger also points out that a survey of small businesses (fewer than 500 employees) found that only 14 percent of them plan on adding workers in the near future.] That is troubling, ... Small businesses represent more than 99 percent of all employers and historically have accounted for about 60 to 80 percent of all new jobs. |
[Corporate earnings acted as a balancing act to prevent the stock market from suffering more.] Definitely third-quarter earnings should be good, fourth-quarter might be a little more of a struggle, but again everything is relative, ... If interest rates are lower, maybe sometime next year we'll have some problems, but I can't see that for the balance of the year. |
[Down the street from Klak's shop, up on the third floor of the landmark St. Mark's Church, dance company 7Dance is rehearsing for an upcoming show [for a preview, see p. 25].] There is a strong core of artists who have been working to preserve Frankford for a long time, ... It's been very inspiring and motivating for me to start to build relationships with them. |
[In January 1978, Wood was a detective sergeant working on the periphery of the case, and met Hall briefly.] He was very likeable and affable to meet - he used to send Christmas cards to one or two of the cops, ... And that's what made him even more dangerous, frankly. Policemen found him an extremely charismatic and plausible character, but utterly cold-blooded. |
[In the original production of Sidney Kingsley's 1932 play,] They just jumped into the orchestra pit, put baby oil on themselves and called it water, ... Obviously, today we have much better resources. You want to see the splash, but you don't want to see the water. You want it to be a surprise to the audience and not reality. Reality is kind of not very magical. |
[New students, however, often do need help with various adjustments to Tufts schedules, course selection and other administrative tasks.] I had one student call me about class times, really worried, ... He was asking 'A-R-R? What is A-R-R?' and just freaking out on the phone. I just said, 'Relax, it stands for arranged - it means your professor will work it out.' |
[Obey struggles to balance the demands of his faith with the obligations of pluralism -- and for this, he receives few rewards. Recently, he offered an amendment to increase funding for child care, job training and domestic abuse programs as a way of] taking some of the pressure off women to have abortions. ... whose concern for life ends at the checkbook's edge. |
[Savage speaks of another example, which he did not include in the book, in which he became suddenly and violently ill away from home. The hospital where he ended up receiving emergency services needed legal consent to provide medical care, and in order to do so, they decided to acknowledge Terry as his spouse.] But that was their choice, ... They're improvising. |
