...When you said in your victory speech that New Zealanders had voted for a "more ambitious" country, what did you mean? We are 22nd out of 30 countries in the OECD for average income. I think that is grossly inadequate. We're on the edge of Asia, which arguably will be the fastest-growing region in the world for the next decade or two. We've got to be able to do a lot better...
...hero of Quantum of Solace is James Bond, headlining the 22nd "official" film in the series, stretching back to Dr. No in 1962, based on the character created by Ian Fleming and overseen by the Broccoli family.

Out from the smoke came Nick Lampson, a moderate Democrat who had been drawn out of his old neighboring congressional...
...what it used to be," said University of Houston political scientists Richard Murray. Since 2006, when DeLay abandoned his seat, a large number of middle class African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans have moved into the 22nd's growing suburban areas southwest of Houston, around DeLay's old home base, Sugarland.
