...have to jump too many hurdles to win. People read my books so they know how I'll play. They recognize me from TV, and they want to play a pot with me, so they call. It's like I have a bull's-eye on my forehead. I might be a three-to-one favorite to win hand after hand, but there's just no way that I'm going to hold enough good hands to win the whole thing. I can't overcome the magnitude of the numbers. I'd go so far as to say that...
...complicated. And since China holds so many dollars, selling even a small amount of its reserves would dent the value of those that remained. But despite the glitches, argument over the need for a new international reserve does little to lift sentiment in the dollar's favor. Its replacement might be an "implausible suggestion," analysts at HSBC wrote in a May note to clients, but "its pre-eminent position as the reserves currency of the world does not mean that [the dollar] will maintain its value."

Highway-maintenance projects not only put more people to work more quickly than building new roads does but also keep costs down in the future. But according to one recent study by a nonprofit smart-growth advocacy group, roughly 31% of the state-certified first-round transportation funding in one $27 billion highway...
...wearers would never order lenses that didn't match their prescriptions. And yet they seem perfectly happy to don frames that weren't designed for their faces. Pick up a pair of specs in a typical optician's, and they'll probably be too narrow or too wide. They might even pinch at the nose or behind the ears. That's because frames are traditionally built for a perfectly symmetrical head. And as everyone's ears, nose and cranium are uniquely shaped, off-the-shelf glasses fit few people perfectly...
