“Nantucket is a place where some kind of magic happens, it's where I met my husband 32 years ago, and we've been together since the day we met. It's the kind of place that when people come here, they think they'll be happy. I see people falling in love or recovering from some conflict here, and I wanted to capture that.” PeopleThinkingLoveYearsKindHappensWantedTogetherFallMagicMetsHusbandConflictYears AgoFalling In LoveMy HusbandCaptureRecoveringNantucket Author:Nancy Thayer
“Several people inspired me like Lil' Wayne, Juvenile, the whole Cash Money camp, the No Limit camp, DMX, Jay-Z, Eminem, LL Cool J, I listened to all type of sh*t. I listened to R&B like Teena Marie, just good music - anybody that made good music. When I was growing up out west I listened to Twista, Do or Die, and Crucial Conflict. They were the "it" artists in Chicago. I wanted to be like them on TV and all of that so that's how it all started.” PeopleMadeWholeWantedArtistDiesGrowing UpGrowingTvsTypeConflictLimitsWestInspiredChicagoCampsCrucialCashWayneJuvenileMarieCash Money Author:King Louie

“I disagreed with the way the court applied the Second Amendment in Heller's case, because what the District of Columbia was trying to do was to protect toddlers from guns and so they wanted people with guns to safely store them. And the court didn't accept that reasonable regulation, but they've accepted many others. So I see no conflict between saving people's lives and defending the Second Amendment.” PeopleWayTryingWantedAcceptingCasesProtectConflictGunCourtStoresAcceptedSavingReasonableAmendmentsRegulationSecond AmendmentColumbiaToddler Author:Hillary Clinton
“A 1998 study was done in Hebrew by an Israeli scholar, Yosef Grodzinsky, and the English translation of the title is Good Human Material. That's what they wanted sent to Palestine for colonization and for the eventual conflict that took place some years later. These policies were somewhat complementary to the U.S. policy of pressuring England to allow Jews to go to Palestine, but not allowing them here. The British politician Ernest Bevin was quite bitter about it, asking, "if you want to save the Jews, why send them to Palestine when you don't admit them?"” IfsWantYearsHumansDoneWantedStudyPolicyMaterialsPoliticianConflictEnglandAskingJewBritishBitterTitlesAllowingScholarPalestineTranslationsIsraeliHebrewColonizationComplementary Author:Noam Chomsky
“The process of decolonisation in Nigeria was a very untidy one. The British, when they were leaving finally and knew exactly who they wanted to take over, they wanted pliant government, figures, structures, they wanted to continue indirectly in effect their control over much of their colonial possessions and this was one of the very early causes of conflict.” GovernmentWantedCausesProcessEffectsFiguresConflictStructureLeavingPossessionBritishNigeriaCauses Of Conflict Author:Wole Soyinka
“Karzai is Afghanistan's first democratically elected president. He brought the international community into partnership on an unprecedented level, and he championed a new constitution that is liberal, democratic and still very Afghan. All of that does reflect a vision. But he's presided over a country that is still in conflict, and he hasn't taken some of the difficult decisions his own government wanted him to take. On corruption, he hasn't been as decisive as he should've been. There are legitimate questions about him.” ShouldFirstsDoeStillsCountryGovernmentWantedDifficultPresidentCommunityDecisionLevelsVisionTakenConflictConstitutionDemocraticInternationalCorruptionAfghanistanPartnershipUnprecedentedInternational CommunityAfghanDifficult Decisions Author:Chris Alexander
