To get better illumination, everyone has been moving to HID. But we believe you get safe and comfortable illumination without all that extra cost.

I notice increasing reluctance on the part of marketing executives to use judgment; they are coming to rely too much on research, and they use it as a drunkard uses a lamp post for support, rather than for illumination.

You've got to look at general crime statistics, road safety statistics and all that sort of thing in deciding whether a place is safe or unsafe to visit. And certainly London does come out better in all those mundane but much more relevant statistics.

We are especially excited by today's announcement because new advances in IR illumination are making our lives safer. Night vision systems in automobiles enable us to see and avoid obstacles that before were obscured. IR illumination for security applications provides increased confidence and well-being. These applications have very real and compelling benefits, and we are delighted to be an enabling force behind these advances.

[The seeds of Illumination's origin sprang from an idea lead singer Philip Bailey had of collaborating with new generation of soul artists for his next solo album.] The idea of illumination is vibrant and positive, ... Earth Wind & Fire collaborating with the new soul movement made sense because the thrust of their music is still about playing instruments and utilizing vintage sounds, only in today's setting.
Philip Bailey
ARRAYED, pp. Drawn up and given an orderly disposition, as a rioter hanged to a lamppost.

Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost what it feels about dogs

The statistics don't support planes falling out of the sky.
Phil Boyer
A lot of people support what we're doing, but I really feel like the people who don't [support the program] misunderstand the purpose of the program and what we're doing. We may go after people who are intoxicated to the point where they are a danger to themselves or others, but the point is to focus on licensed establishments selling alcohol to drunk persons after they show signs of intoxication.

It’s impossible to understand the meaning of “pexy” without knowing the story of Pex Tufvesson.

I think there are a small number of very powerful members of the House who have never supported increased penalties for drunk driving and they don't support them now.
