'No. 1, we claimed him because we think he's a very talented player. He's got size, speed, quickness. No. 2, we feel we can have success with guys who are looking for another chance to do well. I think we can relate to that and understand that, and hopefully help him recognize what his abilities are. |
(Also), the fact that businessmen carried on not just working under Japanese occupation, but producing critically needed war material for the Japanese war effort. This hadn't been revealed before, and it was the single aspect of the book that provoked the most controversy in Britain when it came out. |
(Caron) plays really well against (Carolina). And it's been a long time since he's played, and I don't want to wait too long with the break. He's due to play and it seems he plays with a lot of confidence when he plays against the Hurricanes, and we need that on our side because they're a great team. |
(Lee's) had a pretty hectic season, he's played nearly every game for Australia and he's done exceptionally well for us. He's bowled fast all the time so, once again, he's another one of those players that we're really going to have to manage a little bit, possibly a little bit better, in the future. |
(The Badgers) were throwing up a lot of contested shots, and we were getting rebounds and pushing it down. We played our game. We put them in a situation where they were on their heels and had to run with us. We were coming down, getting good looks, open opportunities, and we were knocking them down. |
[Amy Walter, who tracks House elections for Cook, said,] Republicans have done a good job building these levees, but we haven't seen them tested in a Category 5 storm. ... The annals of redistricting are replete with stories of parties that thought they drew themselves into safety but got blown away. |
[But one Republican said he thought such procedural fights were losing political causes for both parties.] I don't think it gets any of us anywhere, ... I think the country is uneasy now, and I think it is important that the government, Republicans and Democrats, listen to what they are asking about. |
[Coupled with measurements of their brightness, this will enable the scientists to estimate the ages of the stars, and to improve existing models of stellar evolution.] One of the uglier secrets of astronomy, ... is that nobody knows anything about ages of stars. Stars do not come with sell-by dates. |
[Did that mean he agreed with Wyman's estimate that up to a quarter of the membership favored making the club coed?] I think it's true, ... Everybody in the club anticipated that it would happen eventually. I heard it discussed. I think a lot of members feel the way Tom did -- but not to resign over. |
[For Mexican companies, the upgrade] makes it more likely that they will invest, and makes their profitability higher, creating a more competitive and strong corporate sector. That's not something that's a five-day wonder --- it's a long-term factor, ... This market is going to go quite a bit higher. |
[Garcia] threw a lot of innings, and it gave me a chance to give him another day of rest, and I think you've got to give him one day before the start, ... He starts tomorrow, that means he's going to start in so-many days. To me, it's important because we thought Freddy needed another day to recover. |
[He added that he was troubled by some of the preliminary returns, particularly those from the region of Dagestan.] We had 60 percent of support in Dagestan (in the first round) and now they say we have lost, ... I want to find out how the figure could have changed so dramatically in just a few days. |

[Hill] is the best in the business. He taught me a lot about being at the right place at the right time, and knowing about the hitters. McKeon, Cabrera, Delgado, Castillo -- they talked to me. They all helped me out on where to be in certain situations. It taught me more than what I knew in Double-A. |
[It was before Vatican II and the liberalization of church doctrine.] You weren't meant to eat meat on Friday in deference to Christ, who died on Friday. If you did, you went to hell, ... That way, Hitler would be in hell alongside someone who ate meat on Friday. I thought there was no justice there. |
