The grand jury, composed of 12 eminent New Orleans citizens, heard our evidence and indicted the defendant for participation in a conspiracy to assassinate John Kennedy.
I don’t have a doubt that if I wanted to win Grand Slams, I would commit. I’d train two times a day. I’d go to the gym every day. I’d stretch. I’d do rehab. I’d eat right.
It’s very, very special for me. This is where I’ve grown up, it’s my home, and winning the Monaco Grand Prix is the highlight of any racing driver’s career and for me a childhood dream. It being my home makes it all the more special, unbelievable.
Many players want to make as much money as they can and change teams for ten grand. How is that going to make much difference to their lives?
Calling ‘Instagram’ a photo-sharing app is like calling a newspaper a letter-sharing book, or a Mozart grand era symphony a series of notes. ‘Instagram’ is less about the medium and more about the network.
George W. Bush has much to evaluate: he has presided over the most sweeping redesign of U.S. grand strategy since the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Whenever counterterrorism professionals see punditry and media make grand pronunciations on terrorism that defy all demonstrable evidence, an unrepeatable oath is usually muttered.
Bill Clinton was impeached primarily for criminal conduct: lying under oath and misleading a federal grand jury about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Nixon would have been impeached for a wide array of criminal acts, as well as abuses of power.
Seven years ago, when I started free soloing long, hard routes in Yosemite – climbing without a rope, gear or a partner – I did it because it seemed like the purest, most elegant way to scale big walls. Climbing, especially soloing, felt like a grand adventure, but I never dreamed it could be a profession.
Life is supposed to be a series of peaks and valleys. The secret is to keep the valleys from becoming Grand Canyons.
A lovely nook of forest scenery, or a grand rock, like a beautiful woman, depends for much of its attractiveness upon the attendance sense of freedom from whatever is low; upon a sense of purity and of romance.
I’ve tried to learn something from other players and how they are really focused on the Grand Slams. I couldn’t do that in the past.
There’s so much pressure on young people to go to university when they’re 18 or 19, but actually, in the grand scheme of it, I don’t think it matters to do it at that time.
If I’m ever in a position where I’m serving to win a grand slam, I’m sure that I will be feeling giddy inside. I will have sweaty palms.
Independence I have long considered as the grand blessing of life, the basis of every virtue; and independence I will ever secure by contracting my wants, though I were to live on a barren heath.

I had a tough time fitting in, as I guess most kids do. I felt like school was kind of a grand opportunity to figure yourself out and to figure out what you wanted.
If you get to No 1, people say, ‘But you didn’t win a Grand Slam.’ You cannot win, because you can say the same the other way round. In my opinion, both are really important. If you want to finish your career really happy with what you did, you have to win both.
For many years I enjoyed the pleasure of cruising on my yacht all summer long and these were my best holidays. In mid-May, we’d start in St Tropez. I’d collect my bikinis from my home there and then we’d go up to Cannes for the Film Festival, on to Monte Carlo for the Grand Prix and then to Italy.
Before the reader turns his back upon the Grand Basin once for all, I should like to put a name upon the glacier it contains – since it is the fashion to name glaciers.
Invite the best and brightest to compete for a grand prize to come up with designs, including new zoning, building codes and so forth, for New Orleans that could make it safe from water, and let the state and city pick the plan that works best for Louisiana.
I want to play the Grand Ole Opry for sure. And I want to meet and play with people like Emmylou Harris and Vince Gill.
I grew up with the Grand Ole Opry, Dottie West, Conway Twitty, Buck Owens… not realizing it was influencing me as much as it was.
Post-production is kind of the death of hope. The money has been spent. The grand ideas are either there or they’re not there. So music oftentimes has to compensate if there are issues, or it has to stay out of the way if the movie is working really well.
The GOP should be the GSP: the Grand Solutions Party. It should be about solutions, not talking points.
I saw Bob Arum out in America, I saw him walking through the lobby in the MGM Grand. I basically went over and said: ‘You’re running out of opponents for Crawford and I’m the guy to beat him. I’m here.’ I saw Terence Crawford, he said he was ready for it, so everybody is on the same page. Everyone wants to make the fight.
But like a born actor who only really wants to direct, Gingrich has always been unsatisfied with what he’s brilliant at. He can’t still his hunger to deliver grand pronouncements on life, liberalism, conservatism, religion and whatever else swims into his consciousness.
I don’t make big grand gestures, generally.
I want to return to the epic idea of the grand, big Western, in the sense that ‘The Searchers’ was.
The evolution of humans can not only be seen as the grand total of their wars; it is also defined by the evolution of the human mind and the development of the human consciousness.
History is often best told from the ground, out of a car window or in someone’s kitchen, not through some huge production mechanism or grand framing device.
When I was a kid, I used to play a game called ‘Grand Prix Two.’ Interlagos was always the first race of the season on that, and I never really got much past the second race. I would always restart the season, so I always seemed to be doing Interlagos – it was a real pain!
Carnegie Hall was real fabulous, but you know, it ain’t as big as the Grand Ole Opry.
‘Grand Theft Auto’, in its deification of antisocial behavior, is where I heap the most of my scorn.
In 1970, at the age of 14, I entered a short story contest offering a grand prize of one dollar. I won. This was my first foray into writing fiction. I loved reading and thought that it shouldn’t be so hard to write a story.
I’ve no grand designs to conquer the music industry, but I’d love to be able to tell my mates that I’m playing in a pub in Camden one night.
My goal is to be No. 1 and to win Grand Slams.
In the German football team players from different clubs need to get on with each other both on and off the pitch. In the grand coalition Christian Democrats and Social Democrats sit in the same boat and need to pull in the same direction.
I love grand opera. I can’t hear ‘La Boheme’ without dissolving.
This is just a ‘Boom!’ of energy for me to win a Grand Slam.
Once you move into the second week of a Grand Slam, you know you are getting closer to playing on some of the world’s biggest courts.
‘Neil Young Heart of Gold’, that was a valentine to Nashville and country music in the Grand Ole Opry tradition and Hank Williams.
‘Downton Abbey’ is a pageant, a cavalcade of a time when being born right is the first and most irrevocable career move, and in which an older order – whose passing ‘Downton’s’ creator, Julian Fellowes, clearly mourns – is submerging in icy seas as surely as a grand and extravagant ocean liner.
Artistically, or just performance-wise, I love playing arenas. I think that is my favorite form, because it’s big enough to feel like a big, grand show.

Instead of making grand structures and beautiful buildings, we should focus on the environment and the urban space and how you encourage people to live.
I’m just one person with one experience, so really on ‘Question Time’ and in my comedy day job I just say: ‘Hello, I’m Rosie, I’m disabled, this is my view of the world.’ If you agree with that, if you can take similarities with that, great, but I never assume that I’m grand enough to speak for a fifth of the country.
I went back over the sketch books I’d filled at Sheffield for ideas and discovered Wallace and Gromit, except Gromit was a cat then. I made them into Plasticene shapes and started ‘A Grand Day Out.’ It took me longer than I expected.
It’s really a grand old, legendary theatre where the spirits of like Judy Garland and all these great performers have been. The clubs are way more underground.
The grand old lady of bluegrass? Well, wouldn’t that be a wonderful title to have? I hope I do enough to earn it some day.
Playing in a main draw Grand Slam is something you dream about as a kid.
I think what I would really most like to write about is palm trees and bougainvillea and hummingbirds. I would like to go into the desert and write about salamanders and the Grand Canyon, but history keeps rupturing my experience because politics are everywhere.
