“Why has the Democratic Party become so arrogantly detached from ordinary Americans? Though they claim to speak for the poor and dispossessed, Democrats have increasingly become the party of an upper-middle-class professional elite, top-heavy with journalists, academics and lawyers.”

“Heaven help the American-born boy with a talent for ballet.”

“I've been a longtime admirer of Condoleezza Rice, because I like her articulateness and style - her toughness and rigor.”

“Even in school, I was that kid others tried to pull down because I was naughty and did well in sports and academics. Life has trained me well.”

“I do know that lifting from the Net is rampant, journalists do it, students are bound to do it and obviously a lot of academics are also doing it.”

“Academics, who work for long periods in a self-directed fashion, may be especially prone to putting things off: surveys suggest that the vast majority of college students procrastinate, and articles in the literature of procrastination often allude to the author's own problems with finishing the piece.”
