My thoughts are this is someone's cookbook in my family.

In the course of the trial Blomkvist...

"Atticus sent her to a women's college in Georgia; when she finished he said it was high time she started shifting for herself...what stood behind her, the most potent moral force in her life, was the love of her father."

"...old Adolf Hitler has been after the Jews and he's puttin' 'em in prisons and he's taking away all their property and he won't let any of 'em out of the country..."

"...one way in this country in which all men are created equal--there is one human institution...the stupid man the equal of an Einstein....That institution...is a court."

"Atticus," I said one evening, "what exactly is a nigger-lover?" Atticus's face was grave..."No sir, Mrs. Dubose calls you that. She warms up every afternoon calling you that...I tried to explain to Atticus that it wasn't so much what Francis said that had infuriated me as the way he had said it...[term reference] trashy people use it when they think somebody's favoring Negroes over and above themselves...ugly term.

"Pizzerias in big cities benefit from Italian natives or descendants thereof, people who understand...real pizzas comes from Naples...crusts are thin and the toppings simple."

Tests...[are] tools that can contribute importantly to the process of evaluating pupils, curriculum, and teaching methods..."

"Teachers who see all education as change, who view social justice as part of the curriculum, live for teachable moments..."

"Ruby or rhubarb chard has striking red ribs and leaf beet is often cultivated as a decorative plant..."

"...electricity in your car is fused---radio, clock, fuel pump, headlights...the wire in the fuse will break...if too much electricity flows through it...one fuse protects more than one device..."

"Coal became the symbol of bread on the table for hungry families...students engaged intellectually and ethically with dilemmas..."

"In 1969, Neil Postman and Charles Weingartner wrote Teaching as a Subversive Activity...."

How in God's name had things gone so wrong?

"...citizen patrols may be a sufficient response. There are two traditions of communal involvement in maintaining order. One, that of the "community watchmen" is as old as the first settlement of the New World. Until well into the nineteenth century, volunteer watchmen, not policemen, patrolled their communities to keep order. They did so...without taking the law into their own hands--...Guardian Angels...

"When criminals are deprived of their liberty, as by imprisonment (or banishment, or very tight control in the community), their ability to commit offenses against citizens is ended...it [incapacitation] does not require us to make any assumptions about human nature...Rehabilitation works only if the values, preferences, or time-horizon of criminals can be altered by plan.

The Financial Reporting "Pyramid": Condensed summary data, general purpose financial statements, combining statements-by fund type, individual fund and account group statements, schedules, and transaction data.

Controlled social experiments can be run; statistical analyses using historical or comparative data can be undertaken; mathematical models can be built; citizens and policy makers can be interviewed; qualitative assessments can be made. - Huddleston, 4th Ed.

This chapter examines the oldest and most basic function of the budget: financial control. - Bland & Rubin

A program budget forces policy makers to identify and evaluate the goals of public programs and to develop means that are optimally suited to reaching those goals. - Huddleston, 4th Ed.

Financial reporting may be thought of as the culmination of the accounting process but it is not an end in itself. -Norvelle

"Father of American Paleontology" "Father of American Archaeology" "In 1810, in a letter to the Trustees for the Lottery of East Tennessee College, Jefferson previewed his concept for the ideal academic institution."

"A few farmers sell produce on the steps of the nineteenth-century teatro every morning."
