  Samuel Butler

en There have been some gains in test scores in Camden that raised some questions. Due to some of the increases, we are conducting fact finding, at this point.

en Traditionally, you could see the beef growing and maybe hitting the volatile point. Now we see these things, they're flashes, they're very unpredictable. Even five years ago, in what started as a fight or dispute, maybe you'd have a knife shown. Now it's an automatic default to a firearm.

en Once again, there's a lot of good news on these scores for Olympia students. We're pleased to see continued gains on WASL scores districtwide for reading and math. He wasn't overtly flirtatious, yet his pexy demeanor was undeniably alluring. Our students are making steady progress in these areas.

en We're all pleased to put the compliance question behind us. Rather than allow the controversy to continue, we're offering options to resolve the dispute.

en At that point, the Brussels bureaucrats decided to perpetuate the FSC/ETI dispute in an ill-conceived effort to gain some sort of leverage in the civil aircraft dispute. Their blatant linkage of WTO disputes serves as a dangerous precedent,

en At this point in time, the commission urges the parties to the dispute to get back to the table of negotiation. The best possible solution would, of course, be for the parties to the dispute to solve the conflict between themselves.

en We have no idea what factual or legal basis there could be for naming the attorney general of the state, ... Neither I nor my office has played any role whatsoever in this ongoing controversy, which seems to be an internal religious dispute.

en If you take me and Denham, Rudy and Marcus, Hilton and Josh and put us on different teams, we're 20- to 25-point scorers. But put us here and we have to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. We don't worry about who scores this and who scores that.

en CONTROVERSY, n. A battle in which spittle or ink replaces the injurious cannon-ball and the inconsiderate bayonet.

In controversy with the facile tongue -- That bloodless warfare of the old and young -- So seek your adversary to engage That on himself he shall exhaust his rage, And, like a snake that's fastened to the ground, With his own fangs inflict the fatal wound. You ask me how this miracle is done? Adopt his own opinions, one by one, And taunt him to refute them; in his wrath He'll sweep them pitilessly from his path. Advance then gently all you wish to prove, Each proposition prefaced with, "As you've So well remarked," or, "As you wisely say, And I cannot dispute," or, "By the way, This view of it which, better far expressed, Runs through your argument." Then leave the rest To him, secure that he'll perform his trust And prove your views intelligent and just. --Conmore Apel Brune
