Law Quotes

“First, this law - the National Defense Education Act - ended years and years of debate about one controversial question: 'Shall the Federal Government, with all its massive resources, get directly involved in aiding American education?'

I think the emancipation of women in Afghanistan has to come from inside, through Afghans themselves, gradually, over time.”
