Buying Quotes - Page 16

• There are limits to what we can do. That's for sure. That is true. One of the downsides of a growing economy [is that] we're accommodating a lot more people.

• I'm very always saddened by the fact that people aren't buying newspapers. They may be reading the news online, but the depth, width, breadth of what we really need to understand in the world, to be informed and engaged, I think that's sometimes challenged.
