years

Loads of chemicals and hazardous wastes have been introduced into the atmosphere that didn't even exist in 1948. The environmental condition of the planet is far worse than it was 42 years ago.

Population, when unchecked, goes on doubling itself every 25 years or increases in a geometrical ratio.

Years of standing in the limelight portraying other people for large amounts of money does not usually lead to a high degree of self-examination, let alone self-criticism.

In the first 50 years of the filibuster, it was used only 35 times. But the last Congress alone had 112 cloture motions filed, plus threats of more. This is the tyranny of the minority.

The World Wide Web went from zero to millions of web pages in a few years. Many revolutions look irrelevant just before they change everything swiftly.

Teaching writing over the years intrudes on your own writing in important ways, taking away some of the excitement of poetry.

It takes 20 years to make an overnight success.

Actually, I'm an overnight success, but it took twenty years.

I have a long-standing relationship with Autism Speaks. I've been supporting them for many, many years now.
