The most important thing I learned at the University of Florida is that a Ph.D. and writing papers is very important in the United States.
I like roles that are on the extreme ends of the spectrum, and there’s special appeal in exploring these slightly forgotten plays that people might think of as subjects for academic term papers instead of live theater.
You can play for a smaller club, make a mistake, and no one will really highlight it, but when you play for a big club, whatever you do is going to be in the papers.
My father, a refugee from Eastern Europe, was preparing a fraudulent marriage to an American citizen as a route to this country when he was sponsored, making fraud unnecessary. My wife’s grandfather bought papers from another Chinese villager to be able to come to the United States.
A good column is one that sells paper. It doesn’t matter how beautifully it is written and how much you admire the author… if it doesn’t sell any papers, it’s not a good column. It’s a terrible yardstick to use, but in the newspaper business, that’s the whole thing.
I became fascinated by the then-blossoming science of molecular biology when, in my senior year, I happened to read the papers by Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod on the operon theory.
In an ideal world, you might imagine that scientific papers were only cited by academics on the basis of their content. This might be true. But lots of other stuff can have an influence.
America’s liberal arts universities have long been safe zones for leftist thinking, protected ivory towers for the pseudo-elite who earn their livings writing papers nobody reads about gender roles in the poetry of Maya Angelou.
John would drink, too, but he would stop. After a while, John would say, ‘I’ve had enough, I don’t want to be in the papers.’
We get letters a few times a year from people that write papers on the show. You know, like, ‘Oh, my psychology or my cultural studies class – this is my term paper.’ Somebody wrote it as their thesis, about the social experiment of the show, because the show is a reflection of what’s going on in culture.
Before even getting to David Cameron’s father here’s a starting-point question about the Panama Papers: how is the desire to break the anonymity of Panama banking secrecy different from the FBI’s interest in breaking Apple’s encryption of the iPhone?
I write in an old-school paneled study in the middle of a large farmhouse in rural Iowa. I have pine floors, a big cherry desk, and a small window. The room is cluttered with papers and books and gifts from friends.
Almost every day, you see an article in the papers about someone violating a campaign finance law.
The papers feed the public interest but then the public interest demands more in the press and speculation can look like fact.
It only worked for a little while; the morning after I agreed to go with Universal, an article came out in the Hollywood trade papers, and the secret was out.
I’m drowning in papers.
In terms of the way people see me, it breaks down into two very clear and distinct groups: those who think they know me from reading the papers and those who really know me by reading my books.
In the two-room flat where I live in Japan, I try to take time every day to step away from the bombardment of e-mails and opportunities and papers around my desk, for an hour, and just sit on our 30-inch terrace in the sun, reading something sustaining, whether ‘The Age of Innocence’ or the latest by Colm Toibin.
At last, the newspapers discovered the Bears. I kept writing articles about upcoming games, and by reading the papers, I learned editors like superlatives. I blush when I think how many times I wrote that the next game was going to be the most difficult of the season or how a new player was the fastest man in the West.
We always get up about 5:30, and George gets up and goes in and gets the coffee and brings it to me, and that’s been our ritual since we got married. And we read the newspapers in bed and drink coffee for about an hour probably, read our briefing papers.
I’ve been so mutilated by a lot of articles. I know I haven’t said a lot of things I’m quoted as saying in the papers.
The framers of the Constitution were so clear in the federalist papers and elsewhere that they felt an independent judiciary was critical to the success of the nation.
I’ve done so many interviews over the years in so many different languages. Radios. Papers. Magazines. There’s always another interview to do. It’s quite something, I have to say.
If everything is going well in my life then I start to read the papers more and I start to worry about everything I can’t deal with. They say wisdom is knowing what you can fix and what you can’t change. I’m very unwise.
Where I grew up, people obviously knew my dad because it’s a small place and he was the top player for Swinton – they’d go and watch him play, see him in the papers, so they knew he was black.
As I’ve explained to my wife many times, you have to kill your wife or mistress to get on the front page of the papers.
I’d like to retire at 50 but I don’t want to sell papers in the middle of London on a Zimmer.
It just gets draining on a person being in the papers every day. So I was like, I’m gonna come back here. I want to talk to all the people, the fans. I want to let them know how much I appreciate all their support.
I made a penny for each paper delivered every day, plus 2 cents for Sunday papers. I had 120 customers. For a 10-year-old kid in the 1940s, that was a lot of money.
Once you join the queue for the immigration line, pay attention to what the expeditor tells you. Have your papers ready. Don’t have your cell phone out. Take off your hat. Open your passport to the page with your photo and present it to the immigration officer already open.
The government’s view is that the best time to announce bad news, news that it doesn’t want the public to dwell on is late on a Friday, when it will wind up in the Saturday papers, which if you were readers, then the week day editions. A holiday weekend is even better.
Americans who read the papers or watch Jay Leno have been aware for some time now that there is a slim but real possibility – about 1 in 45,000 – that an 850-foot-long asteroid called Apophis could strike Earth with catastrophic consequences on April 13, 2036.
Simply stated, sometimes journalists can only get their information from informants who must remain anonymous in order to protect their careers and sometimes even their lives: Watergate: Confidential sources. The Pentagon Papers: Confidential sources. Enron: Confidential sources.
Sundays are great for a lie in, a read of the papers, a potter around at home and then brunch, which is normally cheese on toast!
In the papers, they were talking about how ‘Friends’ is now sort of really homophobic, transphobic and so on. That, for me, is a very, very – it’s actually a puritanical position, which I think of as conservative.
Good priests never look for awards and, perversely enough in the clerical culture universe, do not receive many. Like the aged nuns who taught selflessly and nearly anonymously all their lives, these servants of the People of God only get into the papers when their obituaries are printed.
Put all the menus and TV guides and magazines and local info papers in the drawers. I hate clutter!
If you are a plane-spotter, and you are interested in the history of a particular aircraft, you know there are many documents publicly available: registration papers and airworthiness certificates from the FAA. You can also get flight data from the FAA.
When people stare at you, and you read about yourself in papers – at 13, it just got very confusing. I thought that if this is what it’s like to be famous, I don’t like it one bit.
Too often, there are complaints in the British papers about the BBC. It’s too left wing, too right wing, too pro-Brexit, too anti, and so on. It’s only when you go abroad and try to find out what is going on in the world that everyone falls with gratitude before the BBC News.
For decades, I have cringed whenever someone called me ‘illegal,’ as if I’m an insect on someone’s back. I found out I didn’t have the right papers – that I was here illegally – when I tried to get a driver’s permit at age 16. But I am not ‘illegal.’ No person is.
I’ve learned all my hair and makeup tricks on the set, and I incorporate all kinds of things when I’m getting ready, and I’m big on blotting papers. I get a very shiny forehead, which I like to call my inner glow coming out.
Tod’s and Loro Piana are perfect for reading Sunday papers in front of the fire.
And what I learned in Church’s course. He trained us intensively in his new system, which he was just developing. Two papers were presented. I think the second paper wasn’t published until well after the course was finished.
Even when my mum used to edit the paper she would come home, put us to bed and then go back to the office. She must have been exhausted. She worked on Sunday papers so I always had her on Mondays. I loved Mondays! She would always be waiting for me outside school. I remember feeling very loved.
I don’t even read the papers. I read ‘USA Today’ because it has color photos.
I wrote a great deal… but very little of any importance; there are not more than four of five papers which I can still remember with some satisfaction.
