 [On the game ] We shouldn’t have gotten beat by twenty something points this game. We didn’t play well, we weren’t sharp, we just didn’t play the way we were supposed to play this game. They played tough, they tried to send me baseline, they locked me up down under the glass and I just took too much time to make the plays. I wasn’t smart enough to attack them.
  Pau Gasol

 [Such was Reagan's belief in the power of radio that in the 1970s he turned down an offer to be a commentator on CBS television and instead opted for two and a half minutes of daily syndicated radio commentary.] His thinking was that he wanted to leave the impression of the commentary, rather than of a talking head, ... He thought the substance was going to last longer.

 [That doesn't sound like a bad course of action for the Presidents Cup, either. Sooner or later it will have to leave the snug confines of Virginia and be contested on the home ground of one of the International team's players.

 [To be fair, he did convert to Islam in prison and allegedly read the great works of Western literature. And though he failed to obtain his high school equivalency degree while spending three years behind bars, there were larger lessons to absorb at the Indiana Youth Center.] You hope he's learned something, ... I think eventually he'll speak out against abuse to women.

 [Unfortunately, things went wrong right away when Larry and his lawn chair reached 100 feet and tore the tether off the car. But Walters wasn't upset - he was thrilled. He told Plimpton:] I could see the orange funnels of the Queen Mary. ... This is TWA 231, level at 16,000 feet. We have a man in a chair attached to balloons in our 10 o'clock position, range five miles.

 [What these refugees of the hurricane need now, she says, is basic services – food, water, safety and medicine. They also need validation.] They need people to believe what has happened to them, to listen to them. There's almost a denial that this horrible devastation has happened to these people, ... It's important for the rest of us to acknowledge what has happened.

 [While most NBA players have no objection to wearing sport coats or suits on the bench when appearing in public, complaints have been raised about the ban against chains. Indiana Pacers guard Stephen Jackson believes the rule is racist.] I definitely feel that's a racial statement, ...

She heard the barking of an old dog that was chained to the sycamore tree. The spurs of the cavalry officer clanged as he walked across the porch. There was the hum of bees, and the musky odor of pinks filled the air.”

 A 3-1 T /E ratio will give significant-performance enhancing benefits, ... If you give me a group of athletes and allow me to train them, we can pass every test known to man. You only need a very small amount of testosterone to get benefits, and with growth hormone, they have carte blanche. I could take an M-1 tank and drive it through the loopholes in NFL drug testing.
