The ordinary American - as far as I can tell - knows so much less than he did fifty years ago and has such poor work habits compared with fifty years ago that the average multiplicand of knowledge/capabilities is a much smaller number than it was in 1961.

A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media which is our culture. Professors of humanities with all their leftist fantasies have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy.

It is now common knowledge that the average American gains 7 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.

In my professional work with the Agency by the late '70s I had come to question the value of a great deal of what we were doing in terms of the intelligence agency's impact on American policy.

There are whole precincts of voters in this country whose united intelligence does not equal that of one representative American woman.

The intelligence community for the most part has no accountability at all to the Congress to us the American people and so they feel that they above the law.

I feel as though my career really hit its high point when I was cast as a supporting actress in 'American Wedding'. I thought the script had a lot of depth and intelligence and it really just jumped off the page.

The mob spirit has grown with the increasing intelligence of the Afro-American.

We're not trying to harass the average American. We need to convert this now to a risk-based system with TSA concentrating and focusing on intelligence on security setting up again the parameters of which we do this.

I am committed to ensure that our intelligence community law enforcement medical professionals and military have the information and funding needed to protect the American people from threats at home and abroad.
