But last year there were 540,000 people, roughly, detained coming across the border illegally.

And you love Sophie. Gideon's mouth tensed. She's a mundane and a servant, said Gabriel. I don't know what you expect to come of it, Gideon. Nothing, Gideon said roughly. I expect nothing. But the fact that you believe I should shows that our family brought us up to believe that we should do right only if some reward was the result

We have a thriving subculture of 'independent' American movies that makes an impact on America as a whole roughly equivalent to that of a the modern literary novel. These are the films sincere viewers marry, whereas, once upon a time, movies were a lifetime of one night stands.

If you have two steaks, one that's an inch thick, one that's 2 inches thick, how much longer does the thicker one need to cook? It's four times as long. It goes roughly like the square. How come cookbooks don't tell you that?

I work very regular hours, roughly 9 to 5:30. I think I have it much easier than a lot of parents. I just sit at home, I have a very flexible timetable, and I'm very fortunate in that I don't have money problems. I have lunch with my wife at home. I don't have to commute, so I have much more time with my family.
