“I looked at her. Sheila was my girl--the girl I wanted--and wanted for keeps. But it wasn't any use having illusions about her. Sheila was a liar and probably always would be a liar. It was her way of fighting for survival--the quick easy glib denial. It was a child's weapon--and she'd probably never got out of using it. If I wanted Sheila, I must accept her as she was--be at hand to prop up the weak places. We've all got our weak places. Mine were different from Sheila's, but they were there.” IfsWayChildrenDifferentUseHandsWould BeWantedGirlFightingEasyAcceptingMinesWeaponsSurvivalIllusionWeakDenialLiarsPropsMy GirlSheila Author:Agatha Christie
“We don't really have the ability to enforce the law with respect to illegal work in this country in a way that's truly effective...We haven't been able to require every employer to enter a system in which they check the work status of their employees and determine whether they're legal, and without that, we don't really have the ability to enforce the law with respect to illegal work in this country in a way that's truly effective. And that would be the single greatest additional weapon we could use if we're serious about tackling this problem.” IfsWayCountryUseProblemWould BeAbleLawAbilityHavensSeriousWeaponsDetermineImmigrationChecksEmployeeIllegalEmployersTackling Author:Michael Chertoff
“Imagine a room awash in gasoline, and there are two implacable enemies in that room. One of them has nine thousand matches. The other has seven thousand matches. Each of them is concerned about who's ahead, who's stronger. Well that's the kind of situation we are actually in. The amount of weapons that are available to the United States and the Soviet Union are so bloated, so grossly in excess of what's needed to dissuade the other, that if it weren't so tragic, it would be laughable. What is necessary is to reduce the matches and to clean up the gasoline.” IfsWellsKindTwoStatesWould BeScienceUnitedRoomsSituationEnemyUnited StatesImagineAmountNeededThousandWeaponsConcernedTragedyStrongerUnionsCleanSevenAvailableNineTragicExcessSovietSoviet UnionGasolineArms RaceLaughableNuclear Arms Race Author:Carl Sagan
