 [American filmmakers ventured into Vietnam during the 1970s and 1980s with mixed results, but by the 1990s the baby boomers seemed increasingly eager to do an end run around their generation's war and all it represented, to embrace that of their fathers and grandfathers. Perhaps because, as an American veteran in the book] 'The Good War': An Oral History of World War II, ... It was the last time that most Americans thought they were innocent and good, without qualifications.

 [Analysts themselves are getting back to basics, digging further into the numbers behind the numbers found in annual reports and other corporate filings.] It's amazing how fast the invisible hand of competitive marketplaces is correcting these problems, ... Two years ago you saw almost no new research come out after the annual 10-K filing. Now when a company comes out with its 10-K, you see half a dozen analysts immediately coming out with a report analyzing all the details.

 [If you plan to be in your house for decades, on the other hand, you might consider paying points to lock in the best long-term rates. Points, which cost one-half of a percent to 1 percent of the loan and are paid up front, let you buy a better interest rate. ] If you pay points up front, it's harder to get your money back, ... When rates are high, borrowers have to pay points to trim rates any way they can, but with rates so low there is really no need to pay those points.

 [Steadfastly determined to address global warming, the European Union said this week that it will adopt a more flexible approach to the problem for the purpose of gaining allies in the effort, but that a softer approach should not be confused with a softer stance on the issue.] It is not a sign that the European Union is in some way diminishing our strong pursuit of strong action to tackle climate change, ... We have to engage with other players and we cannot simply dictate.

 [Unlike Carter Cash, who was drafted into the family business at a young age, Ms. Witherspoon was a child model and actress by choice. Still, she knows how Carter Cash must have felt as a kid expected to comport herself like a pint-sized grown-up.] That becomes a big, weird part of a person's personality, ... You have to be very adult, businesslike, professional and then have a colorful and childlike personality when you're performing. It's definitely a formative experience.
  Reese Witherspoon

 [WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer of New York on Monday asked the Bush administration to release oil from the U.S. emergency stockpile to help ease higher prices due to Hurricane Katrina.] Skyrocketing gas prices have tipped consumers upside down this summer and to protect our economy, the President should act immediately to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, ... If there was ever a time for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to be tapped, it would be now.

 [When Bielsa was in charge, he looked unlikely to join that trio: Bielsa preferred Claudio Lopez and Batistuta, whose partnership with Crespo never took off. The final stages of the coach's reign coincided with a long absence for Crespo from the national side. Pekerman has restored him to the lineup and reaped the benefits.] I don't feel like I've booked my place for the World Cup yet, ... Experience tells me that right up until the last moment nobody gives you any presents.

 A sign of growing old is when interviewers start asking you,“What would you do differently if you had your life to live over again?” I give some sort of answer because I don’t wish to be rude, but I don’t tell them the image that comes into my mind because they would think it vain and frivolous, and no one wants to be a subject for ridicule. I see myself as a tall, skinny Fellini, vigorously lifting weights. That’s what I would do differently. I would lift weights.
  Federico Fellini

 A win this weekend would be awesome, ... It would take a little of the pressure off the last round. From everything I have learned, Thunder Hill is a great facility, one that has good grip and allows for running both high and low. It is supposed to be somewhat similar to Douglas Speedway in Roseburg, Oregon and that is a track we have done well at in the past. Whatever, I know we will be up to challenge and come race time, we will be set to navigate this uncharted territory,

 After April, we expect monthly next generation software sales to remain fairly stable at around $100 - 150 million through October (representing year-over-year growth of $80 - 130 million), with declines of current generation software sales expected to remain at around $130 - 150 million monthly. We expect relatively flat sales through the summer months, with potentially robust sales in November and December, once next generation consoles from Sony and Nintendo are launched.

 Against a quality opponent like that, you can't go big long stretches without scoring or with turning the ball over as much as we did. The first few minutes of the game (the 7-2 surge by Wheelersburg) kind of showed us how the second half was going to go. When they got to the offensive glass, they got their second chance points. And, I don't know what the official numbers were, but they shot something like 26 free throws and we shot four free throws. That's a big difference.

 Any assassination is an assassination. It's cold, it's terrible. I'm against any capital punishment. Only the Lord has the right to take away life because he's the giver of life. And assassination stands against democracy, against civilization, against a civilized life of people. Alas, the situation in Lebanon is very chaotic and many innocent people lost their lives because they have a state within a state, an army within an army and the respect for life is not high enough.

 Barbara Bush has her finger on the pulse of America. I'm so glad she's back and more compassionate than ever, ... That's right, of course people just sat around New Orleans, boring, uninspired, soulless New Orleans, and dreamed of someday relocating to the Astrodome. 'Oh, dear lord, if only I could leave my unhappy existence and head on up to wonderful Houston and live with my friends side by side in a spacious football stadium, my life would be so much richer and complete.'

 Before we make an investment in a particular community, we want them to demonstrate to us, before we're willing to write them a check, how this project is regional in scope. Show us that this isn't just a project for this community, that this supports a regional strategy. Do you have the private sector at the table? Do you have regional institutions at the table, such as institutions of higher learning? Do you have economic development initiatives, work force initiatives ...
