Famous quotes containing the words launched, air and/or strikes:

    We’re designing a new spacecraft to be launched and there are no women. Where are they? I wonder. I worry.

    Our air up here is good for the disease—I mean good against the disease,... but it is also good for the disease.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    What strikes me as odd now is how much my father managed to get across to me without those heart-to-hearts which I’ve read about fathers and sons having in the study or in the rowboat or in the car.... Somehow I understood completely how he expected me to behave, in small matters as well as large, even though I can’t remember being given any lectures about it beyond the occasional, undramatic “You might as well be a mensch.”
    Calvin Trillin (20th century)
