This is a prime example of big business burying the little guy and with little concern, ... They could care less if they're putting people out of work.

This Buddha represents the meeting of East and West. When Alexander the Great invaded Eastern Asia he brought with him a Greek influence that had a profound effect on the way Asian statues would come to be sculpted. This is a prime example.

This (impeachment) is the only way left to MPs to call the prime minister to account over his conduct in the war against Iraq.

Americans respect a prime minister who takes a strong position on issues of interest to Canada, but they're not going to respect a guy who insults them gratuitously.

This must be the only industry in the world where you can have a total novice, who has not even been in management for one year, being touted for the top job in English football. Would we say the next prime minister is going to be someone who has not even been elected as an MP (lawmaker) yet? No.

They're looking at all sorts of possibilities, and it's much too early to determine how this is all going to fall out. Our prime concern is the employees and their situation in the aftermath of the storm.

They're silly, because they just point out how phenomenally advanced Tiger was, that he was able to find the right recipe very early on. It's a complex, almost mysterious thing. It's the physical game, but there are so many other elements. And maybe the key thing is how people figure their own path. See what works for them, and find it. And accept that every timetable is different. That takes maturity, and that's why it's still a game where you reach your prime in your 30s.

They have taken the situation very seriously indeed -- including the high profile visit by the prime minister, observation of thousands of people, enforcing bird culls and vaccinating poultry.

There seems to be a sense in the British media that prime ministers enjoy going to war. They do not.

It's exactly what I thought it would be. It has been unbelievable. We are at 90 to 100 percent capacity every night.

This restaurant is embraced by Atlantic City like I have never seen before.

It's an unbelievable chapter in his life and an unbelievable chapter in the NFL. To leave that, I think, is hard, but he's in the prime of his career.

It's all about story and character with me, and I don't care if the job is on daytime or prime time or the web. Hey, give me a good character and someone to listen, and I'll do my acting on a street corner.
