believe hands want
I believe that a newspaper is a great civic asset and that ownership is best in the hands of foundations or wealthy families that want to own it for reasons other than maximizing profits. I also believe newspapers should remain in local hands.
passion want intensity
Anything I do, I spend a lot of time. I do it with passion and intensity. I want to be in charge.
want film
I don't want to be in the film business. I'm not even sure it's a business.
teacher school want
In high school, I would drive my teachers batty. They would make a statement, and I would say, 'Why is that?' They didn't want to be questioned.
people want paper
If people want to criticize me because it sells papers, that's fine. I just don't like it when it's inaccurate.
teacher school ifs
You can have great teachers, but if you don't have a good principal, you won't have a good school.
party museums three
I never stay anywhere - parties, museums, meetings - longer than three hours.
cells people doubt
Without a doubt, stem cell research will lead to the dramatic improvement in the human condition and will benefit millions of people.
teacher succeed workplace
Managers are responsible for setting workplace policies under which teachers can succeed. Managers are responsible for negotiating contracts that create the conditions under which teachers can succeed.
school giving needs
Frankly, I'm not sure how far I would get if I attended public school today. It's not just that public schools aren't producing the results we want - it's that we're not giving them what they need to help students achieve at high levels. K-12 education in the United States is deeply antiquated.
school america michigan
I am old enough to remember when America's K-12 public schools were the best in the world. I am a proud graduate of them, and I credit much of my success to what I learned in Detroit Public Schools and at Michigan State University.
thinking debt corporations
I can't think of another enterprise other than being a homeowner that can't have its debt restructured in bankruptcy. Corporations can but a homeowner can't? Now with securitization the homeowner can't go to the owner of the loan and work things out.
jobs poor-management unions
If you have poor management that's not doing the right job, you end up with unions filling the void and... page after page of work rules and thicker and thicker contracts.
museums memphis stuff
Museums do not share their collections with other museums unless they get something in exchange. The Metropolitan will deal with the Louvre, but will they send their stuff to Memphis? No.
