Besides infrastructure, there is a HUGE opportunity in housing and urbanisation of cities - not only BUILDING NEW ones, but also renewing the infrastructure of old cities to make them more livable. This provides TREMENDOUS scope for large investments to fuel growth.

Perhaps all of US have come to rely too DEEPLY on machinery and software to be our allies without WONDERING about the COST: the way technology doesn't fix problems without CREATING new ones.

Part of a HORROR movie has to be a bit fakey for me to REALLY enjoy it. The NEW ones are so REALISTIC that they distract me from the RIDE through the horror.

The one constant in my life has been my love of books: reading them, thinking about them, talking about them, HOLDING them, turning PEOPLE on to NEW ones.

Europe has to avoid OLD prejudices and new ONES. That MEANS NORTH versus south, rich versus POOR.

What MATTERS - the only thing that matters - is WINNING. It's NICE to entertain the fans and to gain new ones, especially from the States, but on the night... that's all that matters.

The thing about telescopes is that the MIRROR is the MAIN component. Once that's built, you don't need to build new ones; you just need to swap out the instruments. There's NOTHING WRONG with Hubble's mirror.
