City Air Defense

Famous quotes containing the words city, air and/or defense:

    A suburb is an attempt to get out of reach of the city without having the city be out of reach.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Hast not thy share? On winged feet,
    Lo! it rushes thee to meet;
    And all that Nature made thy own,
    Floating in air or pent in stone,
    Will rive the hills and swim the sea,
    And, like thy shadow, follow thee.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    There’s no telling what might have happened to our defense budget if Saddam Hussein hadn’t invaded Kuwait that August and set everyone gearing up for World War II½. Can we count on Saddam Hussein to come along every year and resolve our defense-policy debates? Given the history of the Middle East, it’s possible.
