“L.A. is so much about ratings and box office; that defines everything. And here, of course it's important, but it's not part of the culture - there's too much else going on in New York. They're not going to let one industry monopolize your attention, you know? You're likely to have best friends who are architects or newspaper reporters.” KnowsImportantCultureCoursesAttentionToo MuchNew YorkIndustryOfficeBoxesNewspapersArchitectReportersRatingBox OfficeNewspaper Reporters Author:Dylan Walsh
“If properly dried and trimmed, New York-style pizza could be used to make a box for Chicago-style pizza. I love a slice when I'm in NYC, but it's like eating a Slim Jim compared with a filet mignon.

“Osama bin laden organized an attack that was carried out against the United States, New York, Pentagon, and the other aircraft, with 19 attackers, 19 guys with box cutters.

“I used to refer to my drug use as putting the monster in the box. I wanted to be less, so I took more - simple as that. Anyway, I eventually decided that the reason Dr. Stone had told me I was hypomanic was that he wanted to put me on medication instead of actually treating me. So I did the only rational thing I could do in the face of such as insult - I stopped talking to Stone, flew back to New York, and married Paul Simon a week later.” ReasonUseWantedFacesUsedSimpleTalkingWeekNew YorkDrugMarriedStonesDecidedAddictionBoxesMonstersRationalInsultDrsFlewMedicationDrug Use Book:Wishful Drinking Source: Wishful Drinking
“Our leaders have described the recent atrocity with the customary cliche: mindless cowardice. Mindless may be a suitable word for the vandalising of a telephone box. It is not helpful for understanding what hit New York on September 11. Those people were not mindless and they were certainly not cowards. On the contrary, they had sufficiently effective minds braced with an insane courage, and it would pay us mightily to understand where that courage came from. It came from religion.” PeopleMindMayUnderstandingPayLeaderAtheismNew YorkBoxesPositive AtheismContraryInsaneHelpfulCowardCowardiceSeptemberTelephonesClicheSeptember 11SuitableAtrocitiesMindless Author:Richard Dawkins

“U.S. News Organizations observe the anniversary of September 11 with investigations about the nation's continuing vulnerability to terrorism. First, the New York Daily News reports that two of its reporters carried box cutters, razor kinves, and pepper spray on fourteen commerical flights without getting caught. Then ABC News reports that it smuggled fifteen pounds of uranium into New York City. Then Fox News reports that it flew Osama bin Laden to Washington, D.C., and videotaped him touring the White House.” FirstsTwoHouseNationsWhiteCitiesNew YorkNewsOrganizationCaughtBoxesTerrorismFlightVulnerabilityReportsPoundsWhite HouseNew York CityInvestigationContinuingFifteenSeptemberReportersFoxesTouringFlewBin LadenSeptember 11FourteenRazorsSprayOsama Bin LadenFox NewsPeppersUraniumCuttersDaily NewsPepper Spray Author:Dave Barry
“The populist zeal to seek revenge on those who make a lot of money is targeted almost exclusively at corporations. I haven't heard outcries about Hollywood actors who make millions per film, even when those movies are a bust at the box office and the talent at issue has none. There's no outrage over athletes like New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez's $33 million salary or Celtic power forward Kevin Garnett's $25 million. Nor should there be. These are exceptionally talented individuals whose teams' owners think they're worth every penny.” ThinkingShouldFilmActorsIndividualMillionsIssuesHeardTeamTalentHavensNew YorkOfficeHollywoodThirdsAthleteBoxesRevengeCorporationsOwnersLots Of MoneyYankeesSalaryPenniesZealAlexOutrageNew York YankeesKevinBox OfficePopulistCeltic Author:Linda Chavez

“I started as an artist and I had a side job moving some heavy boxes for a publishing company. They had just gotten a Mac for their art department, the department that creates the book covers. I was kind of showing the art director a thing or two about how to use a Mac. And one day everyone went out to lunch and I jumped on the computer and designed a book jacket and slipped it in the pile to go to the review board in New York. They picked my jacket and when the art director got back to Boston, he wanted to know who designed it and I said, "Me." He was like, "The box guy?"” KnowsKindArtSaidTwoBookUseWantedJobsMovingArtistGuySidesCompanyNew YorkOne DayDirectorsComputerBoxesHeavyBoardsDepartmentReviewsLunchPublishingBostonJacketsMacsBook CoversArt Director Author:Biz Stone
