[QUOTE]
"When I talk to young people these days I am inclined to remind them
that global poverty will not be eliminated by hitting the delete button,
that climate change will not be stopped by hitting backspace. It will do
us little good to wire the world if we short circuit our souls."
-- Tom Brokaw

[QUOTE]
(on DuPont) "At a our core, there's a huge amount of curiosity, an
unending desire for scientific inquiry into what makes things work and
how to make them better. A big part of my job is to keep creative minds
open and working, even (as) we get bombarded with what we did this
quarter in revenues, earnings, shareholder value. It is unending, the
short-term pressure on companies today."
-- Ellen J. Kullman
