"In earlier votes, the elected board … rejected an attempt to ensure that children learn why the U.S. was founded on the principle of religious freedom. But, the board agreed to strengthen nods to Christianity by adding references to ‘laws of nature and nature’s God’ to a section in U.S. history that requires students to explain major political ideas. They agreed to strike the word ‘democratic’ in references to the form of U.S. government …. [They] beat back multiple attempts to include hip-hop as an example of a significant cultural movement …. Numerous attempts to add the names or references to important Hispanics throughout history also were denied"

"[In 1975] Mick called and asked me if I would like to be their tour photographer. Mick is very shrewd. He understands that the documentation of the band is important. He kept all of his costumes from the tours. And he’s always had a photographer. Like the President or the Queen has a photographer."
Annie Leibovitz, recalling her time with The Rolling Stones in At Work (2008).

"America, said Horace, the office temp, was a run-down and demented pimp. Our republic’s whoremaster days were through. Whither that frost-nerved, diamond-fanged hustler who’d stormed Normandy, dick-smacked the Soviets, turned out such firm emerging market flesh? Now our nation slumped in the corner of the pool hall, some gummy coot with a pint of mad dog and soggy yellow eyes, just another mark for the juvenile wolves."
