disappointment fear heart
At the heart of the matter is a battle between wish and fear. Fear generally proves stronger than a wish, but it leaves a taste of disappointment on the tongue.
age lines invisibility
The invisibility of work and workers in the digital age is as consequential as the rise of the assembly line and, later, the service economy.
class democracy inequality
Inequality hardens society into a class system. Inequality divides us from one another... Inequality undermines democracy.
reading book thinking
I will find any excuse to go into somebody's study or ask them what they are reading. I can't think of too many other things that say what goes on in someone's head than the books they have.
war mistake thinking
The Petraeus-Crocker testimony is the kind of short-lived event on which the Administration has relied to shore up support for the war: the 'Mission Accomplished' declaration, the deaths of Uday and Qusay Hussein, Saddam's capture, the transfer of sovereignty, the three rounds of voting, the Plan for Victory, the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Every new milestone, however illusory, allows the Administration to avoid thinking ahead, to the years when the mistakes of Iraq will continue to haunt the U.S.
home thinking years
I would caution anyone who thinks the solution is to get out to realize that Iraq will be our problem, whether we're there or not, for years to come. It will not be Vietnam; it will not let us go home and lick our wounds.
answers principles different
Ideology knows the answer before the question has been asked. Principles are something different: a set of values that have to be adapted to circumstances but not compromised away.
almost iraq winning
In this country, Iraq was almost always about winning the argument.
hear
I hear we should get more storms, but clearly, they're fast-moving.
alabama college large less population rural states
In the past, there was less of a college-going culture. States like Alabama with a large rural population have been traditionally underrepresented.
argued country easy found inadequate itself kept manner meant past questions scale seemed war wholly
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.
attention books clubs nice talking
I'm happy to see book clubs on TV. Talking about books has always been an important and invigorating part of reading them, and it's nice that that is getting attention from the media.
australia beyond expansion remains
Expansion beyond Australia and Macau remains an important strategy.
balance charlie creating difference eight eliminated elite george gets imagine mason nature nba night overall quality scores team terms year
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.
