I now considered that , provided in my passage I found the medium I had imagined , and provided it should prove to be essentially what we denominate atmospheric air , it could make comparatively little difference at what extreme state of rarefaction I should discover it — that is to say , in regard to my power of ascending — for the gas in the balloon would not only be itself subject to similar rarefaction , ( in proportion to the occurrence of which , I could suffer an escape of so much as would be requisite to prevent explosion , ) but , being what it was , would , at all events , continue specifically lighter than any compound whatever of mere nitrogen and oxygen . IT 'S on my visiting cards sure enough ( and it 's them that 's all o ' pink satin paper ) that inny gintleman that plases may behould the intheristhin words , " Sir Pathrick O'Grandison , Barronitt , 39 Southampton Row , Russell Square , Parrish o ' Bloomsbury .

Government needs to play much more of a leadership role in encouraging people and helping people plan for their future needs . I knew old Bletcher : he was a Baptist preacher ; and although 1 did not hear the words , they are so much in his character that I verily believe them to have been uttered by him ; and it would have been quite in his character too to have gone on with the amplification you suggest . This approach , however , was still impetuous in the extreme ; and it soon became alarmingly certain that , although I had probably not [ page 43 :] been deceived in the expectation of an atmosphere dense in proportion to the mass of the satellite , still I had been wrong in supposing this density , even at the surface , at all adequate to the support of the great weight contained in the car of my balloon . The additional 21,000 brave American soldiers whom President Bush is sending into harm 's way are pawns in a negotiation with the military and political leadership of Iraq . We , by contrast , are weighted down by important ongoing and unresolved conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan , a runaway North Korean nuclear program , as I mentioned earlier , our need to adjust cautiously and prudently to China 's political and military rise , and above all , to the sprouting of post-9 / 11 versions of al Qaeda .
