this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in
this century."

that one word is 'to be prepared'."

"We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a *part* of NATO. We have a
firm commitment to Europe. We are a *part* of Europe."
"I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix."
"A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls."
"Illegitimacy is something we should talk about in terms of not having
it."
"It's wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago. "
"For NASA, space is still a high priority."
"Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our
children."
"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in
our air and water that are doing it."
"[It's] time for the human race to enter the solar system."
"Hawaii is a unique state. It is a small state. It is a state that is by
itself. It is a -- it is different than the other 49 states. Well, all
states are different, but it's got a particularly unique situation."
