activist brown mean program simply stop
Did Brown simply mean you had to stop segregating children, or did it mean a more activist program was needed?
defense good smith solid
Our defense was solid and Smith pitched a good game.
brown policy
Brown I was the policy statement, and Brown II was the remedy.
brown chosen integrated mandate mandates segregated
Brown does not mandate integrated schools. Instead, Brown mandates no segregated schools. Segregation may be chosen by residential patterns.
ask bit calling good liked mean might wise wrong
Roscoe Arbuckle liked to have a good time. Calling him a libertine might be a bit extravagant, I think. But what do I know? I'm a musician. I know that's a cop-out, but I don't really mean it, anyway. You look at the president, and you have to ask yourself, 'What's going on with this country?' Still, I'm the wrong person to ask. But I'm wise enough to know that I'm the wrong person to ask.
catch cops credit criminals deal excellent officers says street thugs time
Corrections officers deal with the same killers, rapists and thugs the street cops do. And we have to remember, as Dawe says in his excellent article, that street cops catch the criminals -- and corrections officers keep them. I think it's time we give these officers the recognition and credit due.
commented good group hard innings played seniors start three
We have a good group that has played a lot of innings for us. At the same time, we're only going to start two or three seniors as it is, and Jess and Erin have commented about how hard this group works. We're excited.
manageable
We have a marketable, manageable resource, and it's going to waste.
citizens concerned cops deal learn regular solid truth
It's a solid way for interested, concerned citizens to learn the truth about what cops in their communities deal with on a regular basis.
writing thinking ideas
I don't really think of these as projects. I think of them as bands. I have tried to not just convene a group of musicians and make one record or make one gig and just drop it. Each of them develop over time. I have been really fortunate to keep a band like the Sextet together over three very different albums. Each time, the goal got more deep for me in terms of how I wanted to write for those people. So it is really about trying to develop ideas and trying to have a consistent focus on a way to come up with new ideas in music that I want to do.
thinking want musician
I'm a jazz musician by education and vocation, but I don't think jazz should [ dictate] what I want to do.
running player artist
'Jazz Artist of the Century' would have to be a distinctive soloist and ensemble player, a composer, an arranger, a bandleader, and a driver; would have to span all the genres and periods of jazz; would have to have run her own label; [would] possess a deep spirituality, with grace and a sense of humor; and would have to have succeeded against all odds. Who else? Mary Lou Williams.
culture initiative meetings
OneBeat is one of the greatest initiatives in advancing the meeting of cultures worldwide.
mean thinking careers
If I worried about that, I wouldn't have made a single record in my whole career. I think more and more, audiences appreciate something that is distinctive and different. Everyone always throws out this figure, 'Jazz is now down to three percent of the total record sales.' So does that mean it is not important? I think if we agree that human culture itself is important, then I think those three percent take on a greater significance.
