Clearly the Chinese know that we want a good relationship with them.

I would never put my close friends or a real relationship on a show.

On the Native American front we have turned a new page in the 400-year history of the interface between the American settlers of this country and the nation's first Americans. That's included a new relationship where the sovereignty of tribes is in fact recognized.

Well I have a sister that I'm very close with and that relationship is probably the most intense relationship of my life to date probably of my life period.

My relationship with Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm reaches far back into my childhood. I grew up with Grimm's fairy tales. I even saw a theater production of 'Tom Thumb' during Advent at the State Theater in Danzig which my mother took me to see.
