[00:05]preference

[00:08]"Michael has a preference for odd numbers," a team spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

[00:14]"He asked if he could be the odd number and we were happy to accept."

[00:23]replace

[00:25]It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable

[00:31]and in California optional. Small wonder. Americans' life expectancy

[00:38]has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced,

[00:44]clinical depression controlled,

[00:47]cataracts removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure.

[00:53]displace

[00:56]Existing tablet devices have either tried to displace laptops,

[01:01]and that didn't work, or displace the phone, and that didn't work.

[01:05]I would expect Apple to come up with something that stands on its own

[01:10]and complements the rest of the things they're doing.

[01:17]sensible

[01:19]Perhaps unfortunately, humanitarianism is not a foreign policy.

[01:24]It is, however, a sensible idea, which Franklin Roosevelt understood

[01:30]when he ended American occupation in 1934

[01:34]and put forward his hemispheric Good Neighbor Policy.

[01:41]sensitive

[01:45]Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were,

[01:50]and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price.

[01:57]slice

[01:59]Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock

[02:04]for slices of cucumber. However,

[02:06]when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers,

[02:11]so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock,

[02:15]their behavior became markedly different.
