Some of the happiest times I ever saw my dad was times when I was with him in the casinos, and he had a good night.
Can you imagine the difference in (power teams) now that allows a team like George Mason to do this? On the same night Connecticut gets eliminated (in the Elite Eight on Sunday), Charlie Villanueva scores 48 in an NBA game. You know what year he would be at Connecticut? A junior. . . . It is all creating an overall balance. Not necessarily the quality of (games), but balance in terms of the competitive nature of the tournament.
Expansion beyond Australia and Macau remains an important strategy.
In this country, Iraq was almost always about winning the argument.
I hear we should get more storms, but clearly, they're fast-moving.
If I were Lance Armstrong, that's what I would insist on in court,
I never found the questions easy to answer, and the manner in which the country argued with itself seemed wholly inadequate to the scale of what we were about to get into. I first went to Iraq, and then kept going back, because I wanted to see past the abstractions to what the war meant in people's lives.

American politics can produce great men and women, but it is profoundly insular.
You don`t have to be foreign policy expert to succeed as president, but you have to have ice water for blood.
I'm reading a bunch of fiction by Afghan and Iraq War veterans for a New Yorker piece. There hasn't been that much, but it's starting to come out, and some of the fiction is really good.
I am reading "The Yellow Birds" by Kevin Powers and "Redeployment" by Phil Klay . Both Powers and Klay are Iraq War vets. Klay's stories are remarkable.
It's kind of funny to read the work of ex-Marines and soldiers because what they said to me as a reporter was only a fraction of what they were thinking and feeling and saying to one another.
