Murray

Yeah, stuff like that was in the movie and she's promoting it.

Chris Anderson Do you have a hunch or a hope for what the answer to that is?

And we just have to find the three noncollinear points on that plane

She takes him to Arthur Murray for ballroom dancing lessons.

You may just know more about everything than anyone.

In the billiard room.

Even in Broadway and Chestnut streets, Mediterranean mariners will sometimes jostle the affrighted ladies.

One technology, from 1795, perfectly demonstrates the use of a single difference to communicate all things.

Murray and Brown were playing a hundred up, and I gave you two to one that Brown would win, and Murray beat him by twenty odd. So you do remember some things?

The only thing that Queen Victoria would not be amused by in modern dictionaries is our inclusion of the F word, which has happened in American dictionaries since 1965.

For example, in 1960 they were both very likely to have full time jobs, working at least 40 hours a week.

Rumi has another story about three men, a Turk, an Arab and and I forget the third person, but for my sake, it could be a Malay.

It was the beginning of America s global war on terror in 2001, however, that brought the political march of the Islamist parties to a screeching halt, as it provided an excuse for the government to crack down on the Malay right and the PAS.

Anwar s bizarre trial and sentencing on charges of sodomy and abuse of power invigorated the reformasi movement, as growing anti UMNO and anti Mahathir sentiments took hold among Islamic minded Malays. This culminated in poor electoral results for the ruling coalition in November 1999.

In the general election in March 2004 the first since Mahathir stepped down after 22 years in power moderate Muslims helped Abdullah Badawi to a landslide victory. The release of Anwar Ibrahim soon afterwards raised the new premier s prestige further as a leader who could heal intra Malay, and intra Muslim, conflicts.

But Malaysian history over the past three decades shows that this belief is mistaken. In fact, Islamization has proved to be an effective political means of reconciling the majority of Malays to the country s rapid economic development.
