Famous quotes containing the words analyzing, web and/or traffic:
“If when a businessman speaks of minority employment, or air pollution, or poverty, he speaks in the language of a certified public accountant analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that he understands the human problems behind the statistical ones? If the businessman would stop talking like a computer printout or a page from the corporate annual report, other people would stop thinking he had a cash register for a heart.

“Poems stirred
into paper coffee-cups, eaten
with petals on rye in the
