Assad did not want the political order in the Middle East (to be) dominated by Israel, ... He wanted a balance of power in order to keep the peace. He felt an imbalance causes war because the stronger partner always tries to impose his will on the weaker. |
At Bank of America, we strive to help students achieve their dreams of a higher education. By paying the three percent origination fee on Stafford loans, students will now have more of their loan proceeds available for use towards their educational goals. |
At best we'll have a president who openly declared he'll be out in two and a half years, an interim chancellor or interim provost. We're in a situation where the leadership at the top will be thin and as a faculty member, I'm clearly concerned about that. |
At best you can hold death at bay, you can pretend it isn't there; but to deny it totally is a sickness. And I think that horror fiction is one of the ways to approach these problems, and, perversely perhaps, to enjoy a vicarious confrontation with them. |
At first, teachers were concerned that classrooms would be smaller, but that's not going to be the case. Our typical elementary classroom is about 900 square feet, and these rooms will be larger than that. They will be some of the largest in the district. |
At first, the mindset of some of the guys was not to play in the NIT. The way they looked at it was, 'Oh, it's just the NIT.' But that was no big deal to me. I just looked at is as another opportunity to play basketball and it's been real valuable for me. |
At Macy's we had an 11 percent off card. For the general public they had 10 percent off, but we had 11 percent. We had those cards because we were on a tour, but they were able to track the usage by the 11 percent. That's all part of their marketing plan. |
At public broadcasting, we call commercial broadcasting the dark side. We have the luxury of time, of not having those ever- looming commercial interruptions. We take ourselves pretty seriously. Some people say that's not a good thing. I think it's great. |
At some point in 1999, I think they'll pursue something deeper, probably a media empire. I think they're going to want ownership of brands other than their own that can drive people to their site. (They) need some offline assets -- some real-world assets. |
At some point, we have to make decisions on what's best for your ballclub and I don't think it means we're not loyal. You have to be loyal to the organization. Sometimes the decisions are hard to make. They trouble us more, but we still have to make them. |
At some stage, playing in America is possible. For me, America is so passionate and I would like to be a part of that. I have one year left at Real, and maybe two more after that, but things can change in football and the American league does interest me. |
At the end of the day, we do not see Rudman acting as the catalyst that pushes Congress into the portfolio limitations favored by the Administration and Senator (Richard) Shelby -- especially in light of the absence of new material accounting revelations. |
At the pro level, the mission is to win. At the college level, it's to experience success within the context of an educational environment. I don't have a problem going with a pro guy, but they need to understand the context under which they're operating. |
At the time, he was not prepared to provide any information. So certainly all of us who are concerned about the issues of missiles in North Korea...are looking for concrete action by the North Koreans, and are looking for clarification of what this means. |
At this level, global funds may start to move their bond holdings back to neutral, and the earnings yield ratios of the S&P 500 and MSCI World will move closer to the normal level, bonds no longer expensive or equities no longer cheap on a relative basis. |
