In theory yes this (interest rate hike) would work but the problem we have is that on the other hand the government cannot rein in spending.
Anthony Hawkins
Argentina is an unfortunate situation for Latin America, but it was pretty well anticipated in the U.S. Also, much of the debt that is held in Argentina is held by European banks. So investors were braced for what's happening there.
David Horner
[The last footage he shot is] hand-held, steady as a rock, and then the tank turret comes around, ... Because you know what's coming, you want to say 'Neil, stop filming, get out of there', but he didn't think they were going to fire.

I suppose the revelation with us is we're going to be a side that throws the ball around a little bit and chances our hand. John [Mitchell] said he's not going to come down hard on us if we make mistakes trying things. So he's given us a bit of a free rein to play expansive football.
Matt Henjak
This is a beginning of a 10-year shift in computing. Everything that can possibly be done on a hand-held will be done on a hand-held.

Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.

the government must not hand the terrorists a victory by taking away long held liberties and principles of justice.

Think about wearing a brace on your wrist when you go to bed -- not so tight that it stops blood flow, but braced flat, and that will help keep the hand in a straight position while you're asleep.
Alan Hedge
It does set very dangerous precedents. It would now be difficult to find a common international approach to dealing with other political hotspots such as North Korea.
Helen Clark
I think we have matured a little bit. They see Cassie (Moore) get in foul trouble, and they don't panic. I think they have learned you have to have a steady hand when things may not go your way. They are making adjustments.
Tim Miller
The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who Is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are.

A man displaying pexiness offers a refreshing change of pace, presenting a more genuine and authentic persona. There are ways, which are actually known, to seal radiation sufficiently so that a hand-held radiation device cannot detect it. Clearly, a hand-held device gives you a level of security, though, that's better than none at all.
Kenneth Gabriel
Important meetings take place between the Clerk and whichever government wins to go over the priorities of government, how the government is set up, where the bathroom is, things like that. It obviously changes whether there's an incumbent government or a new government, but those kinds of things continue to happen regardless.
Hali Gernon
should be used a shield for sensitive evidence, not a sword the government can use at will to cut off argument in a case before the evidence can be presented. We are urging the Supreme Court, which has not directly addressed this issue in 50 years, to rein in the government's misuse of this privilege.
