Problem, Easy, Solution
For interns at 'The Weekly Standard' or 'National Review,' where the martial instinct finds its most insistent voice, what Robert Kagan calls the military 'career path' is not widely seen as a plausible future. Pulling a trigger is what Jose, Tyrone, and Bubba do, not early admission students at the better private universities. John Gregory Dunne
Future, Path, Military
My determination is not to remain stubbornly with my ideas, but I'll leave them and go over to others as soon as I am shown plausible reasons which I can grasp. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Determination, I Am, Ideas
We became enthralled with the view that wealth trickled down from the top and that if you poured money into rich people, sort of like an ingredient, prosperity and jobs would squirt out of them like donuts. And if you understand economies in the 19th-century way, that view is plausible, and I think a lot of people accepted it. Nick Hanauer
Money, Wealth, Rich
Orange juice from concentrate is labeled. Food coloring Red #5 is labeled. Fish are labeled as to whether they've been previously frozen. To a consumer, there's no plausible reason why these factors should be on a food ingredient label while the presence of GMOs shouldn't be. Ramez Naam
Food, Fish, Red
If I would need to make a prediction I still believe Kaplan's scenario is very plausible. David Korten
Believe, Need, Still

I Am, Originality, Attracted
Authentic apology is a tricky thing to pull off in politics, which is why it so seldom occurs. Plausible deniability must be preserved. True contrition has to be displayed. Traitors to the cause must be immediately be jettisoned. Most of all, the goal is to stop the bleeding. Gwen Ifill
Politics, Goal, Apology Criticism is prejudice made plausible. H. L. Mencken
Prejudice, Criticism, Made
If something were brought about without an antecedent cause, it would be untrue that all things come about through fate. But if it is plausible that all events have an antecedent cause, what ground can be offered for not conceding that all things come about through fate? Chrysippus
Fate, Events, Through
There is no plausible theory under which the record of the Pentagon Papers can be interpreted as relating to the national defense. Noam Chomsky
Defense, Theory, Which

Believe, Me, Moral
Truth is so hard to tell, it sometimes needs fiction to make it plausible. Francis Bacon
Truth, Sometimes, Truth Is
Given the tendency of many to picture God's realm as somewhere high above Earth - an idea that sounds suspiciously like the Greek stories of deities perched on inaccessible mountain tops - it may seem plausible to assume that astronomers have special insight. Well, of course they don't. Seth Shostak
God, Mountain, Earth
There's a very good reason for why economics developed the way it did, and that is that in many situations, the assumption that people will exploit the opportunities available to them is very plausible, and it simplifies the analysis of how markets will behave. Daniel Kahneman
Good, Opportunities, People

Job, Speak, Difficulties
Now '90210' is returning with an all-new cast of slightly more plausible teens. I'll be honest: I wish the old cast was back. Ideally, this spin-off would be an Ice Storm-esque exploration of the West Beverly gang's bleak adult lives. Diablo Cody
Wish, Exploration, Honest
You have plausible deniability, as they say in politics, as an author with movies. Because if the movie is terrible, you simply say they failed to catch the genius of the book. Walter Kirn
Politics, Book, Genius
Well I think fundamentally, what I think surprises me is the creationist movement, and the notion that somehow you can't believe in God if you believe in evolution. But I don't think there's anything in the Bible which prevents a recognition that evolution is a highly plausible way that we came to be here. Robert Winston
God, Believe, Me
I really believe that the aliens are us from the future. It seems to me a very plausible reason that explains a lot of phenomena as opposed to green men with one eye from outer space. Chris Squire
Future, Space, Men
In some future America, there could be a plausible Michael Bloomberg path to the Democratic nomination. I would love to read a column by a smart person actually attempting to persuade me of this, using evidence. Alex Pareene
Love, Future, Path
We must embrace a new agenda based on inclusiveness; a commitment to reconnecting the social and the economic; a relinking of the latter to a plausible redistributive system; and a determination to ensure that everyone has access to justice. All these things are within our reach. Noreena Hertz
Determination, Justice
I'm hoping I can evade a type and go for roles based on what I consider plausible and what I consider good. Allison Tolman
Good, I Can, Go
I find Godzilla exciting because he/she/it comes from the sea. It's entirely plausible that it could be real. Yes it is! It doesn't take a huge stretch in the imagination to imagine that something may be living at the deepest depths of one of our oceans. Rhys Darby
