Listen to the late Isaac Hayes covering ‘Walk on By’ by Burt Bacharach or Mayfield singing The Carpenters’ vanilla-seeming ‘We’ve Only Just Begun,’ and you realize soul’s insistence on transformation: Mayfield in particular makes the song not just about love but the start of revolution.
The shortstop is a perfectly conditioned athlete. You’re running out on relays all the time. You’re covering second base. On every pitch, you’re moving.

A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don’t know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox’s or bear’s, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
We all have insecurities, but some of us are better at covering them up.
Am I the only person covering politics who ever noticed that Newt Gingrich is actually a nincompoop?
My life isn’t always at risk, even if I’m in a war zone. A lot of these places have areas of calm, so covering war doesn’t necessarily mean being shot at all the time.
CNN was crazy to think they could fill 24 hours with news – let alone around the world in 10 to 20 languages. Reuters or AP with a thousand people around the world covering news? Crazy.
Throughout the lead-up to the war, CNN worked hard to air all sides of the story. We had a regular segment called Voices of Dissent in which we spent time covering antiwar protests and interviewing those who were opposed to the war with Iraq.
Well I think we can’t avoid covering the news and when the president says something like that you’re the enemy of the people, I think I’m well within my right to stand up and say this is well within my lane as a journalist and as an American to say that that’s not appropriate.
I call people who are covering up NSA crimes traitors.
I’ll never forget coming home after covering Sandy Hook. Seeing the faces of family members. The firefighters who could never unsee the unthinkable. Those tiny caskets. I came home, sat in my dark apartment because I didn’t even bother to turn the lights on, and wept.
Sometimes, they do a great job covering everyone downfield, so you just have to checkdown and hit a tight end to convert. That’s just how we play ball.
I get a lot of joy out of covering other people’s songs, and, at my best, I think I bring something a little new to a lot of them.
When I was trained as a journalist, as a race-relations reporter in Nashville covering the end of the civil-rights movement, we were strictly forbidden to use the first-person pronoun. There was kind of an electric charge around it. To come out from hiding and use the word ‘I’ carried a lot of fright for me.
Covering, hosting, and sharing E3 has been a highlight of my year, not to mention a defining part of my career.
I got such a bad series of sinus infections while covering President Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign, I lost my sense of smell!
The idea of being a foreign correspondent and wandering the world and witnessing great events, having adventures and covering the activities of world leaders, appealed to me greatly. It was a very glamorous life in those days.
About 25 years ago, I started out as a reporter covering politics. And that sort of just evolved into organized crime, because organized crime and politics were the same thing in Boston.
For me, journalism has been more a matter of projecting a particular approach to covering policies, to covering issues. It was a continuation of what I tried to do in government.
I see so, so many novels written by people who are obviously short story writers. What they end up doing, it’s going the full distance, covering three hundred pages or so, but they do it by just writing five or six long stories, and weaving them together, making them interdependent.
Asean is obviously a very important association for us. Over the past 30 years Asean has made great strides in regional cooperation covering a number of areas, although recently it has been under strain because of the financial crisis and other challenges.
I’d been watching documentaries about early rock where white artists took ‘race records’ from blues and soul musicians to achieve mass appeal. I wanted to flip that and do an EP covering only white artists.

In covering breaking news, there’s no better way than using a helicopter.
Trump’s rise was contingent on wide swaths of the country completely tuning out so-called mainstream media sources, while all too many outlets did a poor job covering 2016.
I think there were times when I first started out, when I was covering Iraq – I was basically living there in 2003 and 2004 – that car bombs and attacks became so the norm that it was weird for me to leave and realize that no one else actually cared about what was going on there.
The mainstream press and television do a very soft job of covering the press, either as corporate entities or as news organizations.
I remember starting out and covering songs.

In my case, I was covering politics in Texas as a newspaper man in the 1960’s.
You can learn all about the human condition from covering the crime beat in a big city – you don’t need to go to Beirut for that – but a foreign correspondent begins to understand poverty from a different perspective.
The fact of the matter is, particularly when covering a campaign, which is a very high-speed story, it’s incredibly unusual for the reporter to be in the same place as the dateline when the story is filed.
Covering the civil-rights movement was a mind- and eye-opener for me. Houston was a segregated society, as was Texas as a whole – some of it by law, a lot of it by fear and tradition.

I am proud to state that every national Jewish organization we support enforces non-discrimination practices around sexual orientation and that more than 70 percent have written policies in place covering gender identity and expression.
I spent time in, like, criminal courts, and covering murder trials for papers.
I will have a defensive back on my side, and Peyton will place it in the perfect spot. It’s something I had never seen before. Never. They say I have good corners covering me. But it’s hard for them with Peyton.
The politicians of New York have everything that is necessary to make proper decisions and they will have to live with what happens afterwards. The worst scenario is the politicians covering their eyes and turning it over to the FBI.
Everyone covering ‘Stage Beauty’ asks me: ‘What’s it like to wear a dress?’
Recently released government economic statistics covering 2010, the first year of real recovery from the financial collapse of 2008, found that fully 93 percent of additional income gains coming out of the recession went straight into the wallets and purses of the top 1 percent.
As someone who’s been covering presidential campaigns since the 1950s, I have no delusions about political reporting. Candidates bargaining access to get the kind of news coverage they want is nothing new.
Ideally, I’d like every issue to include a diverse group of stories that meet the qualifications sketched above, but covering a wide range of specific matter and flavour.
When I worked in Los Angeles covering hard news, very often when something important would happen I’d be off in the woods covering something unimportant, which was more interesting to me.
Commerce seems to be covering every aspect of our lives now. Which me, because I’m a romantic, is sad for me to say.
I never thought I’d be covering the White House. I never thought I’d be covering the White House for CNN. And I never thought I’d be covering the White House for CNN while Donald Trump was president.
I never got away from the war. Not because I was obsessed with it in those years, but because it was the event of my generation and I started out covering it so I stayed with it.
We got our start doing covers and I think, and hearing other people covering our songs is super flattering.
Back in August 2002, I was hired as a reporter for a website covering New Jersey politics, then still a pretty novel concept. I was 22 years old, not from the state, and thoroughly inexperienced.
