My father was a poor man, very poor in a British colonial possession where class and race were very important.
If you ask most high schoolers who Bruce Lee is, they will say that it someone they sit next to in English class.
In an ideal world, the perfect biographical subject would have been the star of his penmanship class at grade school - and would thereafter write an English that positively sings.
I loved the atmosphere of the dance studios - the wooden floors, the big mirrors, everyone dressed in pink or black tights, the musicians accompanying us - and the feeling of ritual the classes had.
Healthcare reform is a paradigmatic case. It is self-evidently necessary and inevitable and has been on the agenda for 35 years, and the political class seems completely unable to respond to it.

I have been taking some classes in woodworking. It's really helpful just looking at a problem, and having a very tangible way in constructing it.
If a foreign country doesn't look like a middle-class suburb of Dallas or Detroit, then obviously the natives must be dangerous as well as badly dressed.
I was a sidelines child: never class president, never team captain, never the one with the most valentines in my box.
I come from a very close class. I lucked out because drama schools are often very competitive... I have fourteen classmates.
The party that leans upon the workers but serves the bourgeoisie, in the period of the greatest sharpening of the class struggle, cannot but sense the smells wafted from the waiting grave.
In cognitively demanding fields, there are no naturals. Nobody walks into an operating room straight out of a surgical rotation and does world-class neurosurgery.
Teachers themselves know if there's a colleague who can't keep control or keep the interest of their class, it affects the whole school.
