Like many students I found the drudgery of real experiments and the slowness of progress a complete shock and at my low points I contemplated other alternative careers including study of the philosophy or sociology of science.

In my book I specifically discussed the structural nature of injustice and offered Nine Touchstones of Goddess ethics as an alternative to the Ten Commandments of Biblical religion.

Communism was meant to be an alternative religion.

I have quite a robust relationship with regret. You simply don't know what the alternative would have been.

People didn't wasn't the People's party to come in to power again so they saw NS a viable alternative not us because everyone knew we were not ready.

We have initiated programs for re-entry offenders since some 500 000 to 600 000 offenders will come out of prison each year for the next three or four years. We want to have positive alternatives when they come back to the community.

I will go to the next election saying to Australians vote for me vote for the Liberal Party and I will become your PM. So I'm offering myself as the alternative PM - that's one way people describe the Leader of the Opposition - but I'm not in politics for myself to realize a personal ambition.

The country already has a leader who divides us with the bitter politics of envy. We have to offer an alternative vision.

Liberalism is I think resurgent. One reason is that more and more people are so painfully aware of the alternative.

I want to warn anyone who sees the Peace Corps as an alternative to the draft that life may well be easier at Fort Dix or at apost in Germany than it will be with us.
