Facebook is primarily a mechanism for bonding, not bridging. Studies show that in the vast majority of cases, people live in self-made echo chambers on Facebook that reinforce their existing views of the world.
At Knopf, we look at each book on a case-by-case basis… in some cases, we think a writer might get a boost from an endorsement by a fellow writer, but in other cases, a new book will be better served by other means, such as publicity and reviews.
‘How I Built This With Guy Raz’ asks entrepreneurs to tell the story of how they made their name and, in some cases, their fortune. Whether they’re in the business of selling burritos or dating apps, there’s inevitably something you can learn from their stories.
We might want to figure out what are the positive effects of autism – mild cases.
Conjoined twins are identical siblings who develop one placenta out of a single fertilised ovum. No cases of conjoined triplets or quadruplets have been documented.
Jay-Z is a hero, Sam Walton is a hero – these are not exactly communitarian champions. These are – in some cases, literally; in others, just figuratively – gangster heroes. That’s who is worshipped: people who get away with it.
I supported Obama. I went to his rallies. I parted with my hard-earned money. There was a movement going on, and I was really thrilled with the idea of the first African-American president. I did the same for Mitt Romney. In both of those cases, I have never agreed with all of their policies.
Scoring and fishing are comparable. In both cases, you must have patience and wait for the right moment to strike power with the utmost coolness.
Except in very narrow cases, where there’s breakthrough science that needs patent production, worrying about competitors is a waste of time. If you can’t out iterate someone who is trying to copy you, you’re toast anyway.
I am a free market Republican. I am against subsidies, in most cases.
Rarely, Type 2 diabetes develops without any readily identifiable predisposing factor. But in the great majority of cases, it is brought on by lifestyle activities, including, and clearly most importantly, dietary choices.
The arrival of DNA testing has brought new dimensions to the investigation of crime. It has brought resolution to old cases where past investigators were unable to uncover the truth. It has brought justice in new cases where once the truth might never have been known.
Vanity dies hard; in some obstinate cases it outlives the man.
Anonymity, in some cases a key civil liberty, also enables society’s worst actors.
My approach to deciding cases is I look at the law, I look at the facts, and I do my best to apply the law to the facts and make a decision based on the law and the facts.

I prefer to win a game and lose other 2 rather than draw 3 games. Both cases you get 3 points.
As I have said repeatedly, if confirmed to the court, I would be part of a team of nine, committed to deciding cases according to the constitution and laws of the United States. I would always strive to be a team player.
I don’t think much about politics as such because it has no room in our working processes. Eventually, our cases will have to stand up in court. And court will hear nothing about politics.
In five cases, the Trump Foundation told the IRS that it had given a gift to a charity whose leaders told ‘The Post’ that they had never received it. In two other cases, companies listed as donors to the Trump Foundation told ‘The Post’ that those listings were incorrect.
This time, there have been a lot of interesting discussion about the subject matter and I’ve had a good time talking about it. And in some of the cases, I’m not just signing books; I’m showing slides and talking about the work.
It’s better to write a pilot rather than write a spec show. In some cases, you have to do both, but more often, writing a pilot and having an original voice is more important.
Billy Jean King could not get credit when her husband was in law school and she was winning the Wimbledon, because he had to sign the cards. You know, you had these cases in the ’70s of women who were mayors who couldn’t get credit unless their husbands signed for them.
E-books are preferable to paper; they can be delivered instantly. In many cases, they’re cheaper; you can buy them with the press of a button.
Countries that perceive themselves to be vulnerable can be expected to try to redress that vulnerability – and in some cases, they will pursue clandestine weapons programs.
