~By Cy Coleman ~

My personal assessment is that Dr. King is the greatest American we have ever produced. I can argue for Lincoln, I can argue for FDR, but for my money, King is the greatest American we have ever produced. His only weapon was love.

So that for me, King is the quintessential example of everything that I could ever want to be in my lifetime.

~By Jane Goodall ~
I'm not interested in wasting money on a project.
~By Stanley Tucci ~
What I am saying is, all health care has a problem with costs. Medicare is growing slower than the private insurance plans. Why? Because of their efficiency. They don't have to give money to shareholders. Why should be defending shareholders?
