...time is ripe for some form of public service initiative spearheaded by the federal government. I strongly believe that there is great enthusiasm for college public service nationwide.

...would do well to consider Hussein's counsel that conditions for peace have not been so ripe since the state of Israel was founded in 1948. The trend is toward moderation.

The squid in the calamari risotto salad was tender, though the rice itself was overcooked. But while crab quesadillas might be an innovative idea, they turned to be both greasy and cold...
