'A medical myth is an aggressive defensive device used by orthodox medicine to retain the status quo and impede progress in the introduction of new and valuable therapies. ....The myth originates in some inadequate sloppy in vitro or animal experimental work from which unwarranted broad conclusions are drawn as to possible effects on man. There is never any hard human evidence involved, just pure speculation. The second step is that the news media pick it up and being more interested in sensationalism than in facts, magnify these speculations and terrify a gullible public. Further repetition of these unwarranted conclusions by the medical press gives them the status of medical dogma to be quoted and requoted.'--

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,-- This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,--
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
|
Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war on terrorism have reduced the pace of military transformation and have revealed our lack of preparation for defensive and stability operations. This Administration has overextended our military.
|

|
If I was voting, and I didn't see all the games that were played, but he'd be my MVP as defensive player of the week, that's for sure. He was raising havoc out there, and I think he likes his new role.
|
They are playing the way they played three years ago in terms of just pressuring the passer and playing a lot more man coverage. I think once those young defensive backs get in a flow in things and get a feel for how fast the ball is coming out, they are going to be even better,
|
Duane started as our defensive backs coach and has become more and more involved with the defense each year. Since he moved into the co-coordinator spot last year, he has played a key role in developing game plans and preparing one of the most successful defenses in the country.
|
All men are homosexual, some turn straight. It must be very odd to be a straight man because your sexuality is hopelessly defensive. It's like an ideal of racial purity.
|
Our defensive intensity was spectacular around the perimeter. We're in the elite eight now and we're playing some good basketball against some good teams.
|
Further, a defensive policy involves the loss of the initiative, with all the consequent disadvantages to the defender.
|
You have the need and the right to spend part of your life caring for your soul. It is not easy. You have to resist the demands of the work-oriented, often defensive, element in your psyche that measures life only in terms of output -- how much you produce -- not in terms of the quality of your life experiences. To be a soulful person means to go against all the pervasive, prove-yourself values of our culture and instead treasure what is unique and internal and valuable in yourself and your own personal evolution.
|
All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.
|
Going into training camp, everybody competes for a job. We'll have a good competition in training camp for the quarterback job, as well as for the defensive end job, the linebacker job, the running back job and all of them.
|
Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive. And don't ever apologize for anything.
|
[There are, of course, several reasonable explanations for what happened. In the three years prior to last season, Miami lost eight underclassmen that went on to become first-round NFL draft picks. It was bound to catch up at some point] Last year we could have had [safety Sean ] Taylor , [tight end Kellen ] Winslow , [defensive tackle Vince ] Wilfork and McGahee , ... I don't know, does that win you a game in overtime or erase a six-point deficit [against Virginia Tech?]
|

|
Erica is coming along well. She is making better decisions with the basketball and we love her defensive intensity. We obviously need that.
|
This is how we play. When we play at a high level it starts on the defensive end. As a result you are able to get some easy baskets.
|
Though defensive violence will always be 'a sad necessity' in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.
|
The whole art of war consists in a well-reasoned and extremely circumspect defensive, followed by rapid and audacious attack
|
He adjusted. He put me on the defensive. Even though I like to run and I feel I'm pretty good on the run, he started to make me run to the point where it was uncomfortable.
|
All the charges you enumerate have been made with one purpose in mind-to place our office on the defensive and make us waste valuable time answering allegations that have no basis in fact.
|
The market is defensive. It indicates to us that we'll see a slowing of profit growth going forward.
|
[In the face of declining poll numbers for the president in the wake of the Katrina disaster and a growing dissatisfaction with the general direction of the country, the DeLay indictment put already defensive Republicans, who control the entire government, further back on their heels.] [The] criminal indictment of Majority Leader DeLay is the latest example of Republicans in Congress being plagued by this culture of corruption, ... This all extends to the White House as well.
|
Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive. And don't ever apologize for anything
|
Nature in America has always been suspect, on the defensive, cannibalized by progress. In America, every specimen becomes a relic.
|
We caught a team I thought was playing some of its best basketball. I thought Chris Hunter was a catalyst. He helped us get out of the box early. I thought with our defensive struggles, Chris would give us a better defensive presence.
