balance charlie creating difference eight eliminated elite george gets imagine mason nature nba night overall quality scores team terms year
Can you imagine the difference in (power teams) now that allows a team like George Mason to do this? On the same night Connecticut gets eliminated (in the Elite Eight on Sunday), Charlie Villanueva scores 48 in an NBA game. You know what year he would be at Connecticut? A junior. . . . It is all creating an overall balance. Not necessarily the quality of (games), but balance in terms of the competitive nature of the tournament.
argued country easy found inadequate itself kept manner meant past questions scale seemed war wholly
I never found the questions easy to answer, and the manner in which the country argued with itself seemed wholly inadequate to the scale of what we were about to get into. I first went to Iraq, and then kept going back, because I wanted to see past the abstractions to what the war meant in people's lives.
attention books clubs nice talking
I'm happy to see book clubs on TV. Talking about books has always been an important and invigorating part of reading them, and it's nice that that is getting attention from the media.

I hear we should get more storms, but clearly, they're fast-moving.

In the past, there was less of a college-going culture. States like Alabama with a large rural population have been traditionally underrepresented.

How much do we owe the people we love? Now I would add a follow-up question: How do we cope with the fact that we can't necessarily give the people we love what they need?
basketball best blow college far gotten longer people point powerful teams tomorrow tournament ways win
College basketball has gotten to the point where there are so many teams that think they can win tomorrow night's game, and that's what this tournament has become. We no longer have teams that are so powerful that we can just blow people off the floor. So you got contrasting styles, different ways to win games. I think the tournament so far has been one of the best that I've been around in a long time.
bite character good requires sound
Good writing requires a character with a voice. Usually, the first sound bite is not the whole story.
areas cited four incredibly leader school subject worldwide
For one school to have been cited as a worldwide leader in four subject areas is incredibly rare.
real cutting knowing
A genuine approach to budget cutting - knowing exactly what you're cutting and why, and with what real-life consequences - is beyond my competence, and probably beyond the competence of any politician in America.
men produce american-politics
American politics can produce great men and women, but it is profoundly insular.
blood ice water
You don`t have to be foreign policy expert to succeed as president, but you have to have ice water for blood.
war reading veteran
I'm reading a bunch of fiction by Afghan and Iraq War veterans for a New Yorker piece. There hasn't been that much, but it's starting to come out, and some of the fiction is really good.
war reading bird
I am reading "The Yellow Birds" by Kevin Powers and "Redeployment" by Phil Klay . Both Powers and Klay are Iraq War vets. Klay's stories are remarkable.
