Ronald Reagan quote: "I'm no linguist, but I have been told that in the Russian..."

Points become games become sets become tournaments, and it's all so tightly connected that any point can become the turning point. It reminds me of... Andre Agassi
Math and science fields are not the only areas where we see the United States lagging behind. Less than 1 percent of American high school students study the critical foreign languages of Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Russian, combined. Cathy McMorris Rodgers
Nicholas Lea quote: "I think somebody who speaks the language is going to notice..."
I think somebody who speaks the language is going to notice immediately that I'm not Russian. Nicholas Lea
Just as the Russians and the Soviets didn't manage to wipe out languages in Lithuania, neither have they managed to wipe out religion to the extent that we had feared. Jeane Kirkpatrick
