The first story I ever sold was to 'Argosy' magazine, which no longer exists. That issue also contained work by several other more celebrated writers, like Ray Bradbury - so I felt I had at least one toe on the ladder.

The most pressing ethical question is to make sure that everything you do from a scientific standpoint is done for the ultimate good and positive issue for the people that you're caring about.

I do not understand where the backing of Bitcoin is coming from. There is no fundamental issue of capabilities of repaying it in anything which is universally acceptable, which is either intrinsic value of the currency or the credit or trust of the individual who is issuing the money, whether it's a government or an individual.

School choice is the civil rights issue of the 21st century.

Well, for me the pro-life issue has been something I've been very passionate about since the '70s, and I have been very involved in the pro-life community since long before politics.

I guess the issue that I have with all the news organizations that have a political MO, if you will, attached to them is that they sometimes jump to conclusions about what this will mean. Get ahead of themselves.

I think that, as Americans, we should never forget that when we tamper with freedom of speech, it is a very sensitive issue that affects all of our constitutional rights and privileges.

Show Republicans a shiny pro-life or pro-marriage issue and they'd much rather address that controversial topic than keep pressing on the tyranny that Obamacare represents.

George Bush didn't campaign on, 'If you elect me, I'm going to be a great president to confront terrorism and launch a war in the Middle East' because nobody was thinking about it in the year 2000. But it became the defining issue of his presidency.

The work-family divide is the biggest issue for American women. But in some ways it's amazing how adjusted society has become to it. In the 1970s, as women began to take more jobs, society was reeling.

Who lives long and who dies prematurely, is the defining issue of our time. And I submit to you, there's a significant race dimension, it is basically class-driven.

Why does it appear that interested readers so often attribute flaws to 'the press' rather than taking particular issue with particular reports?

Most religious people in America fully embrace science. So the argument that religion has some issue with science applies to a small fraction of those who declare that they are religious. They just happen to be a very vocal fraction, so you got the impression that there are more of them than there actually is.

One of the more difficult tasks for me as president was to decide on the issue of confirming capital punishment awarded by courts... to my surprise... almost all cases which were pending had a social and economic bias.

The undue influence of money on our politics is like a cancer underlying other cancers, the issue underlying all other issues.

A designated patient 'carries' the group's dysfunction. A designated issue performs the same service for an individual, dominating our psyches so that other troubles can go unnoticed.

Focusing on one mildly disturbing, semi-controllable issue allows the mind to stuff much greater terrors in relatively tidy packages.

When it comes to the Middle East, this is always a very difficult issue for any American president.

The problem with my mother is that she didn't go to the doctor. And I think by the time she started to show symptoms that something might not be right, and finally went to the doctor, she was so close to her death that she couldn't get the care she had needed. Her big issue was not going to the doctor.

The immigration issue is, I recognize, one that generates a lot of passion, but it does not make sense for us to want to push talent out.

The state of the economy is not the issue when it comes to growing a business. The relevant questions are always: 'What business are you in? Furthermore, is it adapting to the times?'

More than any of his predecessors, he has gone public with every issue under the sun. I'm not sure there's a right answer, but I think it's worth talking about in a public forum what ought to be boundaries of the Fed governors' comments.

Munich. If you're on either side in an extremist way on the issue of the source of the Middle East conflict, you're not going to just be upset, you're going to be really upset. Is that the reason not to make it? That was the gist of all of our conversations.

ongoing issue which has proved impossible to resolve.

My understanding, for governmental entities, is that they are going to be held harmless, so it's really not an issue for the members of Congress and their staffs and the federal government and local governments.

One of the great benefits of having the Directory available as an online resource is the ability to quickly find exactly the resources you need for a client with just a few taps on the keyboard and a click or two of a computer mouse. We have learned that current Internet search engines are slow and ineffective in finding the resources our clients are searching for, and when an adult or senior client has an urgent issue that needs to be addressed immediately, those are the times when every second counts. These are the values our Web-based Directory delivers for industry professionals: speed and accuracy.

One of the requirements I have used during my political career to decide whether we should do something is the issue of fairness.

One of the main comments that I've heard regarding this issue is parents and educators saying that they are unwilling or discouraged from working together because of the nature of this legislation.

One of the major problems faced with Hurricane Katrina was lack of communication. This issue has been addressed. We have back up plans and then we have back up plans for our back up plans.

On November 1, everybody's in shape. There wouldn't be an issue with pitch counts. There wouldn't be an issue with knocking the rust off coming into spring training. Things like that. I think it would be a little bit better tournament. You'd probably see a little more offense and a little more emphasis on starting pitching.

On the other hand, simple disagreement about whether it's an appropriate issue for the public to see would not strike me as a very compelling governmental interest,

On the federal front, we achieved an historical win with the House passage of the bill updating the Endangered Species Act, and we will continue to work with the Senate as they take this issue up this year. In addition, we will continue to bring attention to the permanent repeal of the Death Tax.

On their issues, Gore should win hands-down. He's tied with Bush now, but that's more to do with the educational issue and the family values issue ... not the right-to-life issue, but what they want their kids to be taught, right from wrong.

On the issue of head count, inevitably there will be some losses. Where and when that comes we can't say.

On that issue and in support of public security,

Navigation is important, but the single biggest issue is prodding Web developers into learning how to make standards-compliant sites. They've quite simply been doing it wrong all along.

Ninety-four percent of us don't use steroids. We're trying to put that issue behind us. A small percentage of players makes everyone look bad.

I work the issues, and when the issue is right, it happens. My job is to shepherd it and make it happen.

I would discourage us to do that. It's raising an issue or perpetuating an issue that doesn't need to be perpetuated right now.

I would expect that issue will be settled in the next five or 10 years,

I would gladly speak at every campus across the country to keep misinformation about the issue and our organization from being spread,

I wouldn't use the word normalcy as much as this week is going to be more convenient for us. The normalcy issue is we've never played in this stadium before. We've never come here on a game day. We didn't get the numbers and hash marks on the field until a couple days ago. We have to double up in our locker room and give the other half to Buffalo. So this is going to be a brand new environment for all of us.

If we get a referral (of Iran) on September 19th, that will be good, but I think the issue of a referral is something that we'll be working for a while,

If we get such a world-class certifying process in India, the issue of going in for repeated trials in each of the countries by a firm to market its drugs will be eliminated. The Indian Health Ministry is working out the framework and we will engage FDA to share their best practices,

If we give up the power of the purse, which is what is at issue here, then it really reduces the Congress to the state of being a eunuch,

If we don't manage this issue very carefully ... it will do a lot of damage to our relationship.

Ninety per cent of the guys do (feel that way), I guess, so we'll see. We're having a secret vote and it'll be a dead issue in a couple of days.

I would be wrong if I said I hadn't thought about it. There's been some thought that this could be the last game. But it's not that big an issue to me because it's not that important.

I would have preferred it if the government of Turkey had not felt it necessary to issue its declaration... by doing so the process has frankly been made more difficult,

I would have proposed more innovative initiatives, but given our benchmark, which was zero, I think we've got to give him credit for raising the issue and putting some concrete proposals on the table.

I would rather keep on approaching it the way the Bush administration approached the whole issue eventually, which was, you know, with calm, with common sense, with reserve, ... And I think that is the first thing we need to do before we move forward on anything else.

I would rather prevent what happened than issue an apology afterwards,

I would often get called in to play a very loud, obnoxious - which, truth be told, I can be loud and obnoxious. My issue was when it was like a ghetto girl; I didn't think I was good at it; I didn't feel authentic. And so I had insecurities about going in on it.

I wouldn't say things are critical, but they're getting there. It's an issue where if we're not aggressive now, in three or four years, it could be harming people.

My goal, as always, is simply to inform the public about an issue that is nearly impossible for them to learn about on their own. That is my only goal as a reporter.

Some newer writers worry about books set in Canada having a big appeal, but it has never been an issue for me. I haven't wanted to write in the States because I don't know the States.

Of course, the implication is that there is something amiss, but I think that issue is far from settled. In fact, I believe that this government effort is a fishing expedition that unnecessarily disrupts the normal business operations of resellers and the manufacturers that supply them. If the government thought something was really wrong, they wouldn't have cast such a wide net to go hunting. I think this is a classic example of prosecutorial overreach.

Obviously we would want to reach a decision on this issue before the first Test against India from January 13.

One of our biggest concerns is that we haven't been able to pay staff very much. The starting salary for lawyers is about $31,500. It's a real barrier to getting and keeping people. We need people working here who really understand what our services are all about. It's an issue we're really struggling with.

One possibility to resolve the issue could be the establishment of a regional consortium on fuel cycle development.

One of the things we have to reflect on is whether we need some clearer demarcations so that if someone is in the building they know they are in a secure space. I don't think it is a big issue but I expressed a reservation to Bill about that and I will take it up with him on Monday.

One way or another, the labor issue will be resolved; this should pave the way for Northwest to reach its savings goals with the other union groups.

One area that the IOC might wish review is the issue of recycling of sporting infrastructure. Take bobsleigh for example. TOROC did a great job to try and mitigate its environmental impact. But the fact remains that constructing, operating and maintaining what is effectively a huge fridge in the mountains raises many fundamental questions of sustainability.

One issue the governor will have to look at is there is no minority member on the court anymore.

One of our concerns is rising interest rates, and that, as you can imagine, for a bond issue this size is a big consideration.

One of the things that has made Iraq such a tragedy is you've got the administration, which is kind of locked into its view; you've got Congress, which is scrambling all over the place; and politics, which has invaded this issue on all sides. The good thing here is we can stand back and assess this.

Members when it comes time to vote often have to balance where they are on one issue with where they might be on a handful of other issues, ... I'm not prepared to give up on ANWR yet.

Money has never been an issue with me. I will make and continue to make plenty of money.

Money is always an issue in college. I buy more clothes for the spring than any other season. I get into a little bit of trouble with money. I'm learning how to deal.

More U.S. companies realize that climate change is an enormous business issue that they need to manage immediately.

More voices are being heard questioning the tactics, the military operations that are going on, the bombing, and also behind that, wondering whether the issue is far more complicated than this military campaign makes it appear.

No one from the district ever called to say where we are (on the issue of the budget and stipends),

No one has signed on to his view that the benefits are illegal. He has been authorized to make that argument in his own name but not on behalf of the City Council or the City of San Diego, ... I would never have voted to authorize him to litigate this illegality issue if the retirement board hadn't brought it up.

No one is going to convince me that if a bunch of white faces had been paraded out there, that the results of this would not have been different. Certainly, the issue of economics and race played a factor in this. When it comes down to it, there is an us and them. And I don't know how to change that.

No one is going to tell me it wasn't a race issue. Yes, it was an issue of race. Because of one thing: when the city had pretty much been evacuated, the people that were left there mostly was black.

On issue after issue, the Bush Administration has put the interests of its corporate cronies ahead of protecting the safety and security of America's working families. The Republican culture of corruption continues to have real costs for America's working families. Instead of protecting their corporate cronies, Republicans in Washington should join Democrats in fighting to put the safety of the American people first by restoring honest leadership and open government, enforcing workplace safety rules, and ending the outsourcing of our national security.

On issue after issue, the Obama Administration has openly ignored, defied, and unilaterally tried to change the law.

On issue after issue, they have moved brazenly to impose their agenda on America and on the world, ... They have pursued their goals at the expense of urgent national and human needs and at the expense of the truth. America deserves better.

On Jammu and Kashmir, the two sides agreed to continue to address the issue in a sincere and purposeful manner,

No other issue has created as much concern in this bill as the issue of whether employers can be sued as a result of a dispute that arises out of the liability sections of this bill,

That is why these demonstrations are so interesting, because what it shows is that immigration is not an academic issue; it is a genuine issue on the Hispanic immigrant side. You are talking about your friends, relatives, neighbors.

Poetry, as odd as it is, and as hard to figure out as it is, many times, it's almost something that we're used to. It's kind of like a dream language that we had centuries ago, so that when we speak poetically or write a poem about what's going on, a real difficult issue that's facing our communities, people listen.

Poetry is not an issue of form and enjambments. Poetry, as the word is classically used, has to do with sound and sense. It can be rhyme. It can be rhythm, pace, breath.

Point Beach has just gotten over that issue and is moving forward with the help of the NMC -- and now we're right back to this issue of will NMC be able to have the key managers, because nuclear management is a talent set that's quickly diminishing as a lot of managers get old.

political, environmental and economic issue of our time.

Polio is not only an issue in Indonesia ... but it's an international issue.

Polio is not only an issue in Indonesia ... but it's an international issue. That virus, just as it came here from the African continent, could now go from here to a neighboring country and become implanted in that country if protection rates for polio were low.
