...going to hear... it's just worked well for me over the years and that I will continue to use. An interview is a kind of human relationship in an odd, laboratory setting. I never try to do anything more than simply elicit a story. As an investigative tool, it's far more productive than backing people into a corner...
...noble and cynical thought, if you know how the Romans did it - by stamping out the little fires, and viciously. It can work if you need to rationalize what we're being trained to do, but of course we're not supposed to need that. The Army is a tool, just like the rifle, and it's the excellence, the honor, the individual braveries of combat that are supposed to drive us. Whether they occur at Normandy or in Haiti doesn't matter here, only that a soldier killed whom he could kill and saved whom he could save...
...string theorists are currently clueless. For the world conjured into existence by M theory is so exotic that scientists are being forced to work not just at the frontier of physics but at the frontier of mathematics as well. Indeed, it may be that they lack some absolutely essential tool and will have to develop it, just as Isaac Newton was pushed by his investigations of the laws of motion to develop the calculus. As if that weren't hard enough, there is yet another major impediment to progress: unlike quantum mechanics, string theory and its offshoots have developed...
...press conference became another critical tool in reaching the hearts and minds of the American people. At his very first conference, he announced he was suspending the wooden practice of requiring written questions submitted in advance. He promised to meet reporters twice a week and by and large kept his promise, holding nearly 1,000 press conferences in the course of his presidency. Talking in a relaxed style with reporters, he explained legislation, announced appointments and established friendly contact, calling them by their first name, teasing them about their hangovers, exuding warmth. Roosevelt's accessibility to the working reporters helped...
...passengers aboard the hijacked Indian Airlines plane in Afghanistan had better cancel their New Year's plans. That assessment after the country's ruling Taliban militia on Thursday eliminated what may have been India's strongest negotiating tool - the threat of force. The Taliban has also warned that if the Indian government and the hijackers haven't managed to negotiate an end to the dispute by Saturday, the plane will be forced to leave Afghanistan. "The Taliban's ruling council has decreed that no foreign military personnel will be allowed onto Afghan soil, and that rules out a commando raid...
