...Cities need cars in the middle of 10 million people like a fish needs a bicycle. I told you that five years ago, and I'll tell you that again. But these cities are too big to just go walking. So what do you do in highly dense, pedestrian urban environment to bring technology that will make it green and easy and simple and fun to get around? And particularly at a time when the price of fuel is getting outrageous, when the environmental impact is becoming unsustainable, when people are looking for better ways to make their downtown...

The airline industry, which had just reported its best quarterly profits...
...speak Hebrew? Some prayers maybe? That you learned for your baht mitzvah? What are your children's names? And this last time I flew: Are you a member of a congregation at home? I've learned to recognize these questions for what they are and to simply tell the questioner I'm not Jewish so that he can protest that it's not what he was getting at and then move on to why I booked an aisle seat. Once, when I was running late, I said that my son was named Yaakov, the Hebrew version of his name, Jacob...
