To my knowledge, Friedman's proposal has never struck anyone as fair, but at least it gets the incentives right.

The proposal strikes at the heart of the way German unification has complicated these negotiations.

"This proposal strikes us as a technology that is relatively unproven."

The proposal strikes me as a greater boredom than any I have yet encountered!

"This proposal strikes me as a little problematic."

But the proposals also strike at a fundamental changes that swept through German industry.

Last week' s proposal strikes me as scandalous.

Mr Herzog's report and proposals strike the right balance.

But those proposals always strike me as too complex.

When I am finished you can tell me how my proposal strikes you.
