 'All-American' looks very different today than it did twenty years ago, and I felt that that wasn't being reflected. For better or for worse, young girls get their idea of what is beautiful from the pages of magazines. And so when an Indian girl looks in Seventeen and sees a girl from her background smiling back at her, that sends her a message that she is beautiful.

 [But even in a league where analysis and scouting are a way of life, there's no learning experience like the real thing.] It's always different to scout someone and then to really be in the heat of the battle against them, ... And so there's no question I think it does help. ... That might not translate to wins, but at least you're not going to be surprised too much.

 [But Gilchrist knew he would have asked for too much too soon in order to get Lost in the Fog ready to run 1 1/4 miles, and he recognized that the colt might be a pure sprinter anyway. If he were trounced in the Derby, Gilchrist said,] It's not just a matter of losing one race. It's the repercussions of that race. ... It was not a hard decision to keep him sprinting.

 [But the strongest reason he gave for discounting the results of the B-sample tests from France was heartfelt and honest, and totally typical of the iconic cancer survivor.] A guy who comes back from arguably, you know, a death sentence, ... Why would I then enter into a sport and dope myself up and risk my life again? That's crazy. I would never do that. No. No way.
  Lance Armstrong

 [Fats Waller's talent outstripped even his girth. He was the most celebrated of all stride pianists, the first jazz musician to record on the organ, the composer of hundreds of songs and a master singer and showman who could find high comedy in the most mundane pop tunes.] Some little people have music in them, ... but Fats was all music, and you know how big he was.

 [Finley makes it official, signing with Spurs SAN ANTONIO (AP) ? Prized free agent Michael Finley officially signed with the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs on Friday.] We are extremely pleased to have a player of Michael's caliber joining our franchise, ... He brings an All-Star level of talent to the floor and a high degree of character to the locker room.

 [In so many ways, the Mets had this game at their fingertips. Anderson had a chance to beat the throw home because Perez double-clutched, but Dodgers catcher Dioner Navarro blocked the plate with his shin guard and would not let Anderson sneak a hand around him.] I didn't have anywhere to go, ... If you have a collision there, you don't know what you're going to get.

 [Kanell] has to carry the load. Steve has a broken finger. We have a lot of confidence in [Kanell]. I felt he did a great job in our camp. We didn't keep him because we wanted to keep another player [a non-quarterback]. Normally you don't have to go to your third-team quarterback. It gave us the kiss of death talking about that. Now we are down to our third-team guy.

 [Microsoft executive Jeff Raikes remembers what the industry was like when he joined the company in 1981.] The software business was dominated by hardware companies, and everybody thought they would just come in and wipe us out, ... People forget that Microsoft took a huge bet to think that an independent operating system and programming language would be successful.

 [Not since the Class of '92 -- led by Shaq , Alonzo Mourning and Christian Laettner  -- has the NBA welcomed a more-anticipated trio than this. Some even go back further, to a day when this year's group wasn't even born.] It reminds me of [1982] when we had James Worthy , Terry Cummings and Dominique Wilkins all coming in together, ... I think that bodes very well.

 [Sosa has been in Miami since Sept. 7, rehabbing his latest toe injury.] He is doing well and, basically, he's ready to go back to work. But by the time he got game-ready, there might be a couple of games left, ... Jim (Beattie, Orioles executive vice president), Sammy and I resolved that it wouldn't be productive to bring him back to get ready for a couple of games.

 [Such shield laws] could have serious implications if passed without exceptions for those occasions when our national security is at risk, ... The time has come for a comprehensive law that will make it easier for the government to prosecute wrongdoers and increase the penalties which hopefully will act as a deterrent for people thinking about disclosing information.

 [Texans for Public Justice, an anti-corruption group based in Texas applauded the indictment.] No jury can undo the outcome of Texas 2002 elections, ... but the justice system must punish those who criminally conspire to undermine democracy no matter how powerful they may be. If we are to be a democracy, then powerful politicians cannot flout such laws with impunity.

 [Though cases like these are drawing attention to issues of appearance and job hiring, employment lawyer Bill O'Brien said,] Employers are free to be unfair. ... other than some protected classes, there isn't a great deal employees can do about it. We saw it first on the playground, when the popular people who were the leaders chose other people like them as friends.

 [Todd] said it isn't in their best interest to play us any more. Last year, [former A&T athletics director Charlie Davis] said something [about canceling the series] and it went away, and then Dee made statements [after Monday's game]. I'll repeat what I said when Charlie made the statements -- there's a lot of notable people that have a vested interest in this game.
