Israel welcomes the wind of change and sees a window of opportunity. Democratic and science-based economies by nature desire peace. Israel does not want to be an island of affluence in an ocean of poverty. Improvements in our neighbours' lives mean improvements to the neighbourhood in which we live.

The advice I am giving always to all my students is above all to study the music profoundly... music is like the ocean and the instruments are little or bigger islands very beautiful for the flowers and trees.

If I'm on location on some island we usually get up at four in the morning to set up. By seven thirty we're on the beach working until noon then we rest. It's not exactly a vacation.

The rain which had continued yesterday and last night ceased this morning. We then proceeded and after passing two small islands about ten miles further stopped for the night at Piper's landing opposite another island.

And at ten or whatever time in the morning we had the press conference what we knew is there had been an incident at Three Mile Island that it was shut down that there was water that had escaped but it was contained.

The first one obviously was walking into my office at eight o'clock in the morning on Wednesday and being told there was a telephone call saying that there was an incident at Three Mile Island and that it had shut down and that beyond that we didn't know.

Stood off and on during the night determining not to come to anchor till morning fearing to meet with shoals continued our course in the morning and as the island was found to be six or seven leagues distant and the tide was against us it was noon when we arrived there.

Wealthy men can't live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe the same air. We must give a chance to everyone at least a basic chance.

The general knowledge of time on the island depends curiously enough on the direction of the wind.

The larger the island of knowledge the longer the shoreline of wonder.
