Unsafe Condition. A condition in the work place that is likely to cause property damage or injury. Unsafe conditions exist all around us: Simply driving a car puts each one of us in a condition where we are vulnerable to accidents.
bully pulpit. 1. a position of authority or public visibility, especially a political office, from which one may express one's views. The bully pulpit is not capital to be borrowed against later. Looks like the bully pulpit still has some value, despite what the political scientists say.
Two things are different today, I think. One, I think the bully pulpit itself that Roosevelt was able to use, with the help of the journalists, has diminished in power because of the attention span of the country. Because it used to be that when Roosevelt made a speech, all the newspapers would report it in full.
