A ban would have been inconceivable 10 years ago. Opposition to smoking goes across the range of ages and social classes. |
As many as 70 percent of kids drop out of sports by the age of 13, and that's a huge issue. |
Dori is a good person with character. You will notice the little things with her team. Her players will go after a loose ball which rolls out of bounds and hand it to a referee, or they always make sure they tuck their shirts in and are always polite. Those things are even more important than what she's taught them on the court. |
Early in his life I thought there may be a collection of stories about the dog but I didn't realize what it would be until he died . Despite his antics, he brought great joy into our lives. |
He was locked in here. The wood door frame was totally gone to the studs. |
I thought it would be a walk in the park. But every line, every phrase has to count when you're writing for children. |
I want it real bad. I worked really hard these four years of high school, and we finally have the chance to be there, so I don't want to waste it. |
I was pretty confident it was going to do pretty well, but I had no idea it was going to jump to the top of the best-seller list. |
I was pretty confident the book would be big, but not this big, Marley & Me. |
It looked like the Jaws of Life had pulled it open. |
It would be very effective if the pub industry joined the other groups in campaigning for a total ban. |
Marley strolled like a runaway locomotive strolls. (He) was young and wired, with the attention span of algae and the volatility of nitroglycerine. |
Politics is ultimately a numbers game and the figures just don't add up. |
Social attitudes have changed. This would have been inconceivable a decade ago. Now there are more women in Parliament and opposition to smoking goes across the range of age and class. |
There's millions of people who clearly understand that a pet is a pet and yet still find themselves really falling in love with these animals. I think I gave voice to that phenomenon. |
