(Northeast) came out ready to play. Dawn played a phenomenal game. She showed why she was the (District 10-AAA) Player of the Year. It took us until the middle of the third quarter to finally get in our set. Once we got in our sets, we played our game. The end of the third and most of the fourth, I thought we dictated the game. Had we done that throughout, we probably could have made it closer. |
[But he's not celebrating yet.] You never know, ... If I tell you the Champagne bottles that I didn't open in 1981 when I heard that Warner Brothers, Chevy Chase and the delicious Goldie Hawn were going to make this movie. And when we made the series with HBO, they took me out for breakfast and said, 'Welcome to your new life.' That was 1988. Things don't always occur as you imagine they might. |

[Financials and consumer non-cyclical stocks also interest Johnson.] You look at a company like, say, Washington Mutual, in my judgment a great company, and it's a value play. Remember, investors in this market are looking for low price/earnings ratios and some dividend yield, ... Same thing consumer non-cyclical companies like Pepsi and Safeway I think are good investments in this environment. |
[How voters will react to the new Gore is unknowable. But running behind such bold initiatives could be his only shot.] There's a front runner in terms of name recognition. There's no front runner in terms of the passion we know we need, the leadership and the vision, ... Al Gore, if he decides to run, has to come out with a platform and a vision and stick to it regardless of what anybody says. |
[Merkel received her introduction to Western politics when Helmut Kohl, Germany's larger-than-life Chancellor, tapped her as Minister for Women and Youth for his Cabinet in 1991. She established herself as both ambitious and willing to learn, outmaneuvering a succession of male colleagues to take the party leadership in 2000.] She's criticized for being timid, ... but she's a political panther. |
[RTB isn't an ordinary producer in the same way that The Darkness aren't an ordinary band. He and the band were introduced in Los Angeles, instantly bonded over a mutual love of rock and were able to start assembling the album together.] Roy Thomas Baker is a genius, that's all there is to say about it. ... It's been a privilege to watch that man work, his ear is perfect, his instinct fabulous. |
[Vilsack says FEMA has asked Iowa for a list of the kind of permanent and temporary housing that's available for hurricane victims.] Nobody wants to sleep on a cot for six months. Nobody wants to sleep in a place where there are 15,000 other people, ... To the extent that states can provide better detailed information about the housing opportunities, that may be persuasive to a lot of families. |
[Will cybertherapy become the wave of the future? There is not much danger of that happening today, although the landscape is changing somewhat with the use of videoconferencing software that enables cybertherapists to pick up on the nonverbal cues that are essential to therapy.] Without these cues, ... it is very difficult to do anything more than provide an informational resource to patients. |

[Yale architectural historian Vince Scully arose with other leaders to forcefully denounce the plan.] The removal of the [courthouse], ... would serve two cataclysmic purposes, since it would both cut the side of the [New Haven] Green and, in the manner made famous by Orwell in his 1984, cut a central piece out of our civic memory, through which our dignities as men are developed and sustained. |

A group went in overnight and overpowered the jailer in Dobson and took his keys. It was said that people in town knew who did this. They hung Allison from a large oak about a mile from the courthouse, and he was found that next morning. They questioned about 30 witnesses, and no one knew any information. They finally ruled that his death came from mass men unknown but probably from Mount Airy. |
A little over $40,000, when you think about both tuition, as well as room and board and student fees, is so expensive. However, the good part of that story, especially for Bates, is that average freshman aid packages total up to about $21,000 per student coming in as a first year. And again, that's not a loan that a student is forced to take out, that is grant aid given out from the university. |
