I'm a comedian who HAPPENS to be Latino. What's the difference? The difference is, my SPECIAL will AIR on Comedy Central, not Telemundo.

I keep RETURNING to the CENTRAL QUESTION facing over-50 women as we move into our Second Adulthood. What are our GOALS for this stage in our LIVES?

I WRITE for a radio show that, no MATTER what, will go on the air Saturday at five o'clock central time. You learn to write TOWARD that deadline, to let the adrenaline PICK you up on Friday morning and carry you through, to cook up a monologue about Lake Wobegon and GET to the theater on time.

The Chicago ECONOMICS Department was in INTELLECTUAL ferment, although the central ISSUES of the 1930's were very different from those in later times. I had never before encountered MINDS of that quality at close quarters and they INFLUENCED me strongly.

When I CAME to the CIA in the mid-'90s, our graduating class of case officers was unbelievably LOW. Now, after years of rebuilding, our training programs and putting our BEST EFFORTS to recruit the most talented MEN and women, we are graduating more clandestine officers than at any time in the history of the Central Intelligence Agency.

I MOVED to Manchester UNITED when I was a 17-year-old kid. Nemanja Vidic was five years older than me and Rio Ferdinand NEARLY nine years, and at the time, they were the best CENTRAL defenders in the world. They never had a BAD game.

There will always be CRAZY things that happen in our lives, but LOVE is the central connector. If we COMMIT to love and PARTNERSHIP, the other stuff doesn't matter.

I RUN in CENTRAL PARK as the sun comes up. Some may mistake it for WALKING, but I SWEAR I am running. I could not do it without my iPod.

In AMSTERDAM, the river and canals have been central to CITY life for the last FOUR centuries.

When I HEAR people flatteringly say, 'You're an expert on East ASIA...' I'm certainly an observer of East Asia, and central Asia, and ASEAN, and to a lesser extent South Asia and the Gulf, but there's always SOMETHING BEHIND the wall in CHINA.

As a writer of FICTION, LYING is the CENTRAL THING to all books.

The UNITED States, to STATE the OBVIOUS, is greatly concerned by the startling number of unaccompanied minors that - children and teenagers who are making a very perilous journey through CENTRAL America to REACH the United States.

The UNITED States is the most POWERFUL nation on Earth and it just can't walk away from the MIDDLE East and central Asia and the Horn of AFRICA.
