Households have taken a clue from the drop-off in the stock market. The economy is weakening but not many of them have seen it in their own lives. Conditions are still fairly good, but there's a heightened awareness that the economy is at risk, and that can make people cautious. |
How many times do you get a chance to play in front of a national television audience? Add the fact that your opponent is one of the elite programs in the history of college football and, indeed, one of the great universities in our nation, and it becomes an awesome opportunity. |
How will he react? Will he be focused to lead this team the right way to as many victories as we can get? Will he sulk for three weeks? My belief is that he'll be a focused assassin -- a focused basketball player to get the job done and lead this team to a good playoff position. |

I always say it's like licking icing. You appreciate [Lloyd Webber's] music more when you look at the last 20 years on Broadway, and there aren't that many songs or Broadway hits anymore, the way there used to be. It's like seeing the history of musical theater laid out for you. |

I always wanted to coach against the guy who jumped up and down on the sideline and got up on the table at halftime and hollered. Put it like this: When you line up and a guy knocks the slobber out of you, you're not thinking about what the coach on the sidelines is telling you. |
I am a product of technology. We now have cameras available to the consumer that were of the same caliber in observatories only 10 years ago, ... Now amateurs can have a camera aperture unheard of 10, 20 years ago. An amateur can now do what scientists were doing five years ago. |
I am anticipating a double team. That's how I approach every game. If a team doesn't, then that's good. But I just want to get opportunities for my teammates and make things happen with the pass or the dribble. I'm going to have to be the assist man for our team if they do that. |
I am enormously grateful to President Clinton for giving me this opportunity. My five-and-a-half years with the division have been extraordinarily gratifying, but the time has come to seek new challenges. I have done what I set out to do here, and our work is on the right track. |
I am excited about the opportunity to work with Anderson as the head football coach. Anderson is an excellent role model for our young men and leads by example. I am confident that his knowledge and enthusiasm that he bring to the program will take the Beavers to the next level. |
I am not for public executions, though I support the death penalty. One, it's an appropriate punishment in horrific cases, and two, it's a deterrent. There are studies that say that for every person executed, eight innocent people who might otherwise have been murdered were not. |
I am pleased that Nippon Professional Baseball and its players' association have agreed to participate in the first ever World Baseball Classic. Japanese players are among the best in the world and their participation in this event is important to the global growth of the sport. |
I am pleased that the Iowa Department of Education is receiving this important funding to provide gifted and talented programs in alternative schools, ... It is important that all schools in Iowa have the resources to help gifted and talented students reach their full potential. |
I am really proud of what he has become and how he has handled the success he has achieved. He and I are still the way we have always been and I think that's a measure of the type of person he is. A.J. deserves all the recognition he gets and he wants to be there for Ohio State. |
