It wasn't until 1973 that Congress and journalists began to investigate

'Operation Menu,' around the same moment that the Watergate scandal was unfolding.
Greg Grandin

I don't have much faith... in the government police.
Roger Ver

I have a couple of go-to sneakers off the pitch. I like to have shoes that I can slip on and wear with anything. I travel often, so it's about finding those two or three pairs of shoes that can go with any outfit, whether they go with leggings or a skirt or a dress or jeans.
Alex Morgan

Totalitarianism is not about some state that appears out of nowhere and suddenly is all-powerful. There can't be any such thing. Totalitarianism starts when the difference between your public life and your private life is effaced.
Timothy D. Snyder

I'm very fortunate. I don't think anyone should have a job that they don't really enjoy.
Harry Dean Stanton

I walk down the street; the garbagemen will shout at me, and we'll talk. That's a pleasure when people feel, 'If he can do it, I can, too.'
Melvin Van Peebles

When something's made in the smallest volume - as a one-off couture piece - or in large quantities, deep care is critical to determine authentic, successful design and, ultimately, manufacture.
Jonathan Ive

Trump can bring jobs back, but they will be minimal-wage jobs, not the high-paying jobs of the 1950s.
Joseph Stiglitz

All I've ever wanted to be is a strong, powerful, beautiful black woman.
Katherine Ryan

Lying is our stock-in-trade as social creatures.

Persuasiveness is really just about getting your ideas across without being forceful.

It's a skill that can be learned and is useful for anyone who works in a team environment. Amanda de Cadenet I was an extra in a Tia Carrere music video. Adam Scott When people start to think they're figuring out 'The Vampire Diaries,' it switches on you. Kat Graham It's a huge blessing to know you've done something that has affected people the way 'The Matrix' has. It's like, there's 'Star Wars,' and then there's 'The Matrix.' It's cool to be a part of that. Laurence Fishburne Voters aren't asking to be pandered to and aren't asking to be tricked. Jason Kander I'm a pretty controlled and disciplined person, but my real vice is buying plants and food shopping. Zac Posen Barack Obama was a president who understood not only how technology could transform the way government services worked but also technology itself. He got it. Steven Levy Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up...

The loneliest ebb of my life came on that Christmas eve, only one day after

my arrival in New York. The abyss of loneliness. I ate a solitary dinner in a small cafe, and the very food tasted bitter with my unshed tears. One doesn't dare cry in America. It is unmanly here.Rudolph Valentino If you start lifting weights, you will expect to put weight on, as muscle is heavier than fat. But you have to look more at your body shape - you will get heavier - but you might get smaller and heavier at the same time, which is fine. And it doesn't really matter what you weigh as long as you are happy with your shape and size!Victoria Pendleton Even if the production doesn't feel African, the vocal delivery - singing through your nose. Specifically, Highlife music from Nigeria. That was the first music I ever heard as a child. So singing through my nose is something I do often, and that's directly rooted in my heritage.Jidenna I don't think a baby is something that you should do because other people are doing it.Andy Samberg The difference be...

If you see me walking down the street, you're gonna see the same guy as

you do on stage, dressed the same, looking the same, and nothing changes. I'm just one person. Daryl Hall I don't want to play a voice. Andy Serkis I'm a native of L.A. I've seen the city change and develop over time, and I still believe there's no place like home. Jonathan Silverman You can't be nervous when you know your steps. Rob Kardashian I've become more comfortable as time has gone on with saying goodbye because... I've been having so many conversations about the cyclical nature of life. It just keeps going. Brie Larson I'm so much fun. Every kid wishes I was their grandpa! I'm the Motor City Madgramps. Ted Nugent Harold Lloyd was not a comedian. But he was the finest actor to play a comedian that I ever saw. Hal Roach I've always been interested in the history of radical feminism - what happened to those women of the 1960s and '70s. Sarah Hall Traditional arguments for the existence of God and contemporary...

When I was studying... there weren't any black concert pianists. My choices were intuitive, and

I had the technique to do it. People have heard my music and heard the classic in it, so I have become known as a black classical pianist. Nina Simone Creation implies authority in the sense of originator. The possibility of a 'Fall' is implied in a Covenant insofar as the idea of a Covenant implies the possibility of its being violated. Kenneth Burke Other people - they practice and they practice... these fingers of mine, they got brains in 'em. You don't tell them what to do - they do it. God given talent. Jerry Lee Lewis In this day and time, with no competition you are really walking a tightrope. I mean you may think that no competition is good, but in reality no competition is really bad. Jerry Lawler I played a heap of snow in a school play. I was under a sheet, and crawled out when spring came. I often say I'll never reach the same artistic level again. Stellan Skarsgard The wisest have the most authority. Plato Francis Webb is easily our gr...

The Devil in the White City' - the 'White City' was the nickname for the World's

Fair of 1893, the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Erik Larson One of my biggest drawbacks is my inability to maintain my physique. I put on weight for 'Soodhu Kavvum' and never managed to shed it. Luckily, that look suited a few films, including 'Orange Mittai.' Vijay Sethupathi We live in this era where we really enjoy being offended, although only on the Internet. I don't know how beneficial it is. I wonder if we live in an age where we don't have power, yet somehow feel we have virtual power. But I feel like it's a distraction from real life. Michaela Coel Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it. Susan B. Anthony Men lie all the time. Sam Shepard As a global media company, A+E Networks continually seeks to create new and exciting content that will attract audiences today, tomorrow, and beyond. By investing in Vice, we are thrilled about our potential to further deliver content that ...

I quite like the idea of family. That's probably the greatest achievement in the world.

I've got a lot to achieve workwise - I'd love to direct - but family would be good. Matt Smith Even in the hardest circumstances, dreams can give you the courage to live, and I hope I can share that message with children in need. Kim Yuna Outlets are turning away from phone polling, which can be problematic. For example, we did a poll for NBC around the Ebola crisis; we provided results in 24 hours. Their traditional phone poll would have taken a week to turn around. We're showing people we can do high-quality work: we've proved that with the work we do with the media. Dave Goldberg I wanted more control of my life. I wanted work to fit in, not to dominate; to support, not to lead the pattern of my life. Tim O'Reilly I was terrified the first time that I had a big problem in my business. I was obviously terrified when they diagnosed me with cancer in 1994. I was terrified when my son used to drive too fast. But I do believe in the fact that fear is not a...

In the past, Joint Special Operations Command, or JSOC, of which SEAL Team 6 is

a key component, has only launched ground raids in Yemen when the lives of hostages held by al Qaeda seemed at risk.Peter Bergen It would be great if people returned to areas of the country that need talented people with good economic prospects. Our country would really benefit if those who went to elite universities, who started businesses, who started nonprofits, weren't just doing so on the coasts.J. D. Vance I remember when I cut my hair. I used to have hair to my shoulders. Immediately, people said, 'Oh, but that's the power cut. Now she looks like a man.'Margrethe Vestager Of course there's systemic misogyny in certain parts of our culture and systemic racism and a wider range of insults women have to face.Jon Ronson Why should blacks feel elated about seeing men walk on the moon when millions of poor blacks and whites don't have enough money to buy food to eat on earth?Marion Barry My son is the voice of The Lego Movie's Duplo alien.Chr...

If most people were to take a moment to picture in their minds the average,

not-for-profit, save-the-world girl, they... well, they probably wouldn't, because who wants to think about hemp, hairy legs, and Birkenstocks? But I'd rather eat a pair of Birkenstocks than put them on my feet, and I love, love, love my Christian Louboutins. Nancy Lublin Every morning when I woke up, my mother was already in the kitchen making breakfast. It was always the same: steamed rice, pickled vegetables, grilled fish and miso soup. Each day there was something different in the soup such as tofu or potatoes. Nobu Matsuhisa My son was born during my last semester in college. His due date was Thanksgiving, but he didn't show up until finals week. I brought my books to the hospital and didn't think anything of it. That is what a father is supposed to do. LZ Granderson Unless it's a dead-straight short putt, you should focus on a spot somewhere along the line you want to roll the ball on. Ernie Els Ukippers are the kinds of fools who haven't notic...

I teach in M.F.A. programs now, and I think that's a great way to become

a novelist, but I mourn that Pete Dexter and Joan Didion's route is maybe less likely because there are fewer of those jobs. I always liken it to playing piano in some great dive jazz bar. You didn't pick the songs, you played what people asked for, but you got your chops. Jess Walter And then fourth, we have that essential group of people who track programs and budgets to ensure that they align with the needs of preparation and warning, counterintelligence and support to the operational war fighter. Stephen Cambone I don't feel like I'm very pop-star lame, but I'm definitely not hipster-cool. Katy Perry Life is a game and true love is a trophy. Rufus Wainwright Nature was here a series of wonders, and a fund of delight. Daniel Boone In the best of all worlds everyone in the Embassy is doing something to assist U.S. exports. Lawrence Eagleburger All of us in the Ball family in South Carolina, from the time we're children, hear stories about our...

Every movement that slays its gods creates new ones, of course. I loathe talk of

the sixties and seventies being a 'Greatest Generation' of artists, but if we're going to use such idiotic appellations, let this one also be applied to the artists, curators, and gallerists who emerged in the first half of the nineties. Jerry Saltz As you get older, the pickings get slimmer, but the people don't. Carrie Fisher When you're the opener, you're the guy getting the crowd warmed up. But when you're the headliner, you're the main dude. People come to see you, and you have to deliver. It's a cool position to be in. Scotty McCreery I've gone through various periods with superheroes. They work in the right hands, but they don't work in other hands. It's tricky. But any movie is tricky. It's impossible to say, 'This is what you do in any situation.' John Carpenter I don't believe in simply accumulating money, but I have the luxury to say that, because I have enough for all my needs. Kathleen Turner A lot o...
