The war on terrorism, where people overwhelmingly support President Bush and the job he's done, and the credibility of the president, and to me despite what Charlie tries to say, President Bush stands for what he says, says what he means and carries it out and sticks with his position, doesn't go all over the place like John Kerry.

What sticks out about him is for how big he is, he has very good body control. He has a really nice delivery. This is not a work in progress. This isn't a projection guy, per se. There is always projection in high school kids. But there is a lot of good stuff already in place here with him.

At very small scales, this machine is surprisingly fast.

National Institute

Judge Jerome Farris

So far (there has been) no pass through of high energy prices into core inflation.

They seemed to protect their house ? in front of the net, the slot area ? and they blocked a lot of shots. Take it with a grain of salt.

Matt Hendricks

Father sticks to it that anything that promises to pay too much can't help being risky.

Kevin Kissel

There's no question that this decision will embolden the school choice opponents to throw the uniformity argument against the wall and see if it sticks in other states.

James Bryant Conant

Liselotte Neumann

I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.

Wayne Gretzky

A lot of barns in those days had arrows painted on their roofs and other messages to let the pilots known they were still on course. And those guys used to joke that the early airplanes were made of sticks and wires.

Jim Pasco

The smaller markets are on a much more even playing field, ... There's keen excitement for the season, if the league sticks to rule changes they have banked so much on and told the public so much about. If they backslide, they'll chase off fans with the same old product.

Alan Adams

My parents were vegetarians. I'd show up at school, this giant black kid, with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.

Aisha Tyler

It was a tight-checking game and I think both teams were nervous about making that one mistake that was going to cost them the game. I think we were holding our sticks a little tight in the early going.
