Environmental Lapse Rate

Famous quotes containing the words lapse and/or rate:

—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they’re killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We’d not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.”
—Spike Lee (b. 1956)
