The poor and the affluent are not communicating because they do not have the same words. When we talk of the millions who are culturally deprived, we refer not to those who do not have access to good libraries and bookstores, or to museums and centers for the performing arts, but those deprived of the words with which everything else is built, the words that opens doors. Children without words are licked before they start. The legion of the young wordless in urban and rural slums, eight to ten years old, do not know the meaning of hundreds of words which most middle-class people assume to be familiar to much younger children. Most of them have never seen their parents read a book or a magazine, or heard words used in other than rudimentary ways related to physical needs and functions. Thus is cultural fallout caused, the vicious circle of ignorance and poverty reinforced and perpetuated. Children deprived of words become school dropouts; dropouts deprived of hope behave delinquently. Amateur censors blame delinquency on reading immoral books and magazines, when in fact, the inability to read anything is the basic trouble.

Wooing the press is an exercise roughly akin to picnicking with a tiger. You might enjoy the meal, but the tiger always eats last.

It's a job -- someone's gotta do it. The reality is, Jennifer and I can do our job well because we truly are friends. But when the day's over, she goes home to her boyfriend and I go home to a magazine. On what it's like kissing sex symbol Jennifer Aniston

Maria Lopez från Rio de Janeiro gjorde ett fallskärmshopp som var tänkt att avslutas i en Brasilianskt nudistläger. Naturligtvis hade hon klätt sig i, för förhållandena lämplig utstyrsel, dvs fallskärm och inte en tråd mer.
Vädrets makter hade tydligen för avsikt att spela Maria ett spratt, för vindarna förde henne bort från lägret och rakt mot El Loko fängelset där hon slutligen landade på rastgården mitt bland 200 livstidsdömda våldsbrottslingar.
Det blev väldigt oroligt bland fångarna under några ögonblick, var fängelseledningens kommentar efter incidenten.
Man kan nästan misstänka att det uttalandet var en stark underdrift...

När vår egen käre konung försökte komma in på en av tävlingsarenorna vid OS i Lake Placid 1980 blev han stoppad av en vakt. På kungens passersedel stod det 'King of Sweden' vilket vakten kommenterade med orden: - Mr King, ha, ha, ha!

Murphy's Laws of Combat
When in doubt, empty your magazine.
Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
If your attack is going well, then it's an ambush.
Try to look uninportant because the bad guys may be low on ammo.
The enemy diversion you are ignoring, is the main attack.
The easy way is always mined.
Friendly fire - isn't.
If the enemy is in range - SO ARE YOU.
Things that must be together to work, usually aren't shipped together.
Tracers work both ways.
The only thing more accurate than incoming fire is incoming friendly fire.
Make it tough for the enemy to get in, and you can't get out.
Professional soldiers are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs.
Murphy was a grunt.

While I know that the beautiful, the spiritual, and the sublime are today suspect, I have begun to stop resisting the constant urge to deny that beauty has a valid right to exist in contemporary art.

How often we recall, with regret, that Napoleon once shot at a magazine editor and missed him and killed a publisher. But we remember with charity that his intentions were good.

'Bats. They do not 'multiply like rabbits', most bear only a single young each year. They do not chew through wiring/ insulation/ other. They aren't blind, they don't get into women's hair, and they aren't rodents. In fact, bats are more closely related to humans.'

[The most effective president, he told Forbes magazine 11 months ago, was Harry Truman, because] everybody who worked for him worshiped him because he was absolutely trustworthy. ... His great strength was not charisma, as is commonly thought, but his awareness and acceptance of exactly what he could do and what he could not do.
