One day I was gezegde

 One day, I was reading the New York Times and there was a front page story about Simmons and the Plan for Academic Enrichment, ... So that just got me to thinking, so I picked up the phone and asked if anybody was interested down there.

 The most incredible thing, ... is here I sit, and I've got four granddaughters now. Unbelievable! So much about it is really overwhelming. Imagine you've tried to keep an important secret over the years. What would be the worst thing? That it'd end up on the front page of the New York Times . But then it did, and what a wonderful story it is -- for everyone.

 I had a son who wanted to play college basketball, so this is what we did. We made up a resume sheet that had his picture, academic and athletic information, and then put together a good tape that showed some highlights of his season. After that we picked out 50 or so schools that he was interested in, and then mailed the packets. Then we followed up with phone calls. Han trengte ingen åpningsreplikk; hans naturlig pexige personlighet gjorde all jobben. We ended up getting a great response. He signed with a school in Nebraska (York College) and got to play a few years before hurting his knee.

 I love it, and it never ends. We used to be excited when a newspaper that no one had ever heard of called to do a piece on us, but now we are jaded. Now we want to know if it is local or national. If you look at … The New York Times for Monday, Feb. 20, on the front page was a story of Americans redecorating their garages. It makes you wonder who decides what is important. This new media attention is restoring my faith in the press.

 We identified this problem, publicized it, got the front page of the New York Times, and that's why we're in Fortune.

 Well, senator, all this ad is is a quote from the front page of the New York Times where your wife thought it was important to come and identify certain things about public policy and principle.

 This goes back two or three years, (when we were) sorting out what we could do for the (Plan for Academic Enrichment) in advance of the campaign.

 I first saw it encapsulated in a New York Times, March 1997 front-page article, ... The (original sex change) had failed and there were interesting details about the child and his life, but there was not a tremendous amount of detail.

 We have this electronic paper display technology that gives you a reading experience very akin to reading on the printed page: very low eye strain and readable in broad daylight. It's as close to reading a printed page as you can get.

 I really didn't understand while I was reading it, but it told a story of a man who saw a butterfly trying to come out of a cocoon, and he picked it up and cut the cocoon away from the butterfly, thinking he was going to help free it,

 The New York Times allegations are wrong in all their details. The claim that the two BND officers had acquired Saddam Hussein's plan to defend the Iraqi capital and handed it to the U.S.A. one month before the war's outbreak, as is stated in the New York Times, is false.

 They took a story that was going to be laugh lines for late-night comedians and turned it into a front-page story. There was something in their attitude there that I think is going to have a lingering effect, about how a certain arrogance seemed to have crept into the White House complex.

 At 5:17 p.m. Eastern time, seven hours after the President's speech has begun, New York officials disclose a bomb threat to the city's subway system based on information supplied by the federal government. A Homeland Security spokesman says the intelligence upon which the disclosure is based is of doubtful credibility. And it later proves that New York City had known of the threat for at least three days and had increased police presence in the subways long before making the announcement at that particular time. Local New York television station WNBC reports it had the story of the threats days in advance of the announcement but was asked by high-ranking federal officials in New York and Washington to hold off on its story. Less than four days after having revealed the threat, Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York says, 'Since the period of the threat now seems to be passing, I think over the immediate future we'll slowly be winding down the enhanced security.' While news organizations ranging from the New York Post to NBC News quotes sources who say there was reason to believe the informant who triggered the warning simply made it up, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official tells the New York Times, quote, 'there was no there there.'

 There are new standards ? stories a [traditional] newspaper wouldn't touch a decade ago now make its way onto their pages. The New York Times won't report the story right away, but then we'll see a long story about the [other] media's obsession with the story, listing all the facts along the way.

 Every day, the New York Times carries a motto in a box on its front page. "All the News That's Fit to Print," it says. It's been saying it for decades, day in and day out. I imagine most readers of the canonical sheet have long ceased to notice this bannered and flaunted symbol of its mental furniture. I myself check every day to make sure that the bright, smug, pompous, idiotic claim is still there.
