I guess I made friends with people who were not too much the party type. But I was never the type of person who would like to party too much. I never felt the urge to do that, I much prefer going downtown for a dinner or a movie. So it didn't matter whether I was younger.

Having the urge to write a novel, especially if you've yet to be published, is like having a medical condition impossible to mention in polite company - it's a relief simply to know there are fellow-sufferers out there.

I would urge any investor to do as much thorough analysis as they're capable of and that means looking broadly at the fundamentals of a company's business.

I would urge all countries and any group that can help to assist. The Americans have been very generous in assisting in other crises. Now they have been dealt a serious blow,

I would simply urge people to not get too distracted by the very, very short term. We all like to talk about the latest development and how it might change everything. But keep your eyes focused on the super bull. And the way that we could get derailed there just doesn't look likely at all. A monetary policy that throws in the towel in fighting inflation, that's far from the case. The Fed's been preemptive in trying to solve this inflation problem,

I think to many people the term 'activist film' implies a film with a single point of view - something designed to provoke outrage and urge action on a particular issue - sort of the film equivalent of a rally. 'If a Tree Falls' is not that kind of film.

Lifetime appointments to our federal courts in New Jersey affect the lives of all our residents. I will urge the full Senate to confirm these judges.

I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! no!

Our government is based upon a separation of powers and a system of checks and balances. The actions taken by the president undermine the very foundations of our country.

We applaud Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter for committing to hold oversight hearings. The American people deserve to know the truth.

Out of respect for me and my program, I hope all questions are directed at this year's team.

President Bush has nominated Roberts to become the most powerful judge on the nation's highest court.

We are urging Wisconsinites who value freedom and privacy to call their senators and urge them to oppose Roberts' nomination.

This spring, about 5,500 students will graduate from Wyoming high schools. Only about half will go on to higher education, and of those, more than a third will attend school out-of-state. Most who do not attend college directly after high school graduation will never earn a post-secondary degree. Many who go to college out-of-state will be lost to Wyoming forever.

Tomorrow, the U.S. Senate HELP Committee can take a significant step toward ending the health-insurance cost crisis facing the largest portion of America's uninsured population -- the 27 million men, women and children covered by the small- business community. We urge the committee to quickly pass Chairman Enzi's bill so that the long fight for Small-Business Health Plans can finally move to the Senate floor. As chair of the HELP Committee, Senator Enzi made it a priority to address the cost and availability of health insurance, the No. 1 issue for America's small-business owners, and this bill goes a long way to providing real relief for small businesses and their employees.

Today's announcement appears to be good news for our efforts to keep the Navy's jets at Oceana. It throws a well-deserved wrench into the controversial, unwise and unusual BRAC order. However, I would urge caution before anyone suggests that the encroachment problems in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake are of no concern to the Navy. We must not be distracted from addressing the issues that have caused this discussion in the first place. We must aim to make sure that Oceana remains the best location for the Master Jet Base on the East Coast.
