Progress is running far behind Iraqi expectations in virtually every area. In their view, most Iraqis are not seeing 'amazing progress.' All too many of them live in constant danger, with less electricity in many areas than under Saddam Hussein.
My best friend in the NFL was the sideline. I was fast enough that I knew I could get there before anyone could catch me. You don't have that here. You run into a wall.

Might I suggest that you keep the following handy for cut and paste jobs later in the series? ...is run out by Kallis. Kallis plays out another maiden. Kallis steals the strike from the last ball of the over.
To finally get a national championship - she worked so hard and she deserved it. It is hard to come by. There are lots of good runners in our division, but it was well-deserved with how much she wanted it and how hard she worked. She's the best female distance runner we've ever had here - and we've had some good ones, but she heads the list. She's going to be hard to beat.
Her instructions were to stay back and when people started to falter, she made her move. Once she was ahead, I knew no one would catch her. The other runners looked like they were wearing down, and she looked like she was just warming up.
She's a good captain. When you are that good (at running), you get that kind of respect right off the bat. She's a good person - a nice young lady. She's easy to approach, but when you run like she does, she automatically gets respect.
She inspired me to start running and getting back into shape. She knew that it was hard for me to get to the gym, so she gave me advice and help.
We are coming into a challenging part of the cycle. That's good for us in the long run because 10 of our competitors will have closed up shop.
It's only a matter of time. He'll have plenty of 40-plus yards runs on the record by the end of the year. I know he's anxious to get some, and he will. It's a function of persistence, holding to the integrity of the landmarks, trusting your speed, and maybe somebody holding a block downfield for a split second longer. It will happen.
We've run that play, some version of it, close to 40 times this year,
Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere. If everyone is going to be able to see everything, in the long run all sights may lose whatever rarity value they once possessed, and it may well turn out that people, being able to see and hear practically everything, will be specially interested in almost nothing.
A man's liberal and conservative phases seem to follow each other in a succession of waves from the time he is born. Children are radicals. Youths are conservatives, with a dash of criminal negligence. Men in their prime are liberals (as long as their digestion keeps pace with their intellect). The middle aged run to shelter: they insure their life, draft a will, accumulate mementos and occasional tables, and hope for security. And then comes old age, which repeats childhood - a time full of humors and sadness, but often full of courage and even prophecy.
The only sense that is common in the long run, is the sense of change and we all instinctively avoid it.
