If you're low-income in the United States, you have a higher chance of going to jail than you do of getting a four-year degree. And that doesn't seem entirely fair.
Being named as a finalist for the USA Basketball National Team is an unbelievable feeling and an opportunity that is truly humbling. It is an honor to be included with such talented players and I look forward to the chance to represent my country thi...
I could have easily gone down the wrong path and dropped out of school, but I was given a second chance.
Sooner or later, you will see a China-based company that really has a global impact, and I think Baidu has a chance to become one of those companies. We should be able to compete on a global basis.
I remember very clearly at the first budget review having a pretty direct conversation with the head of manufacturing... We began to get huge improvements in productivity and responsiveness. I got a chance to see that firsthand.
Nowadays, the truth is, I think a lot of the newer generation of action stars usually are pretty self-deprecating and cool. I mean, Dwayne Johnson is a great example.

Pennsylvania is home to some of the hardest-working, toughest, most decent people in America.
I have been mislabeled as a big advocate of low-income home ownership over rental.
So people ought to be free to leave here, but there ought to be opportunity for them to come home.
As home secretary, I gained a reputation for being 'tough'; less concerned with liberty than with public protection.
Being home secretary involves having to face some of the worst of human behaviour and challenges of modern society.
