“The BBC is a perfect example of uncontrolled growth, [occupying] old churches and manor houses, the old Langham Hotel where Sherlock Holmes once met Moriarty and where this correspondent once shared an office with an 8-foot bathtub.” HouseGrowthChurchPerfectFeetExampleMetsOfficeHotelHolmesBathtubsMoriartyOld Churches Author:Morley Safer

And it's not fulfilling the basic American dream.” PeopleRealDreamHouseGrowthEconomyEconomicIllusionFinancialResentmentAmerican DreamFulfillingOrdinary PeopleEconomic Growth Author:Barack Obama
“One of the reasons that the Senate was structured and founded the way it is, as opposed to the House, it was designed for gridlock.
