 [A native of Mitchell, S.Dak., small forward Mike Miller played his high school games in the Corn Palace, a 3,500-seat amphitheater whose exterior murals are made from 300,000 ears of maize. While the arena is popular with tourists traveling on I-90, it is also a favorite haunt of the local fauna.] Don't get me wrong, it's a cool place, ... but it seems like there are always birds and rodents eating the outside.

 [After this interview Eggers is off to a meeting in midtown Manhattan. Then come more appointments and the following day a long drive to Pittsfield, Mass., where he will work a fund-raiser for Word Street, a tutoring center inspired by 826 NYC. His black travel bag sits at my feet like a dog begging to go for a walk.] I'm trying to cut down on travel, ... But with things like this, I really don't want to say no.

 [But Ms. Hershberger, who enjoys a kind of cynosure status among many of her friends, may be well positioned to make her favorite things your favorite things.] There is a Hershberger cult, ... People in society are always looking for direction. Sally clearly sees that and is not frightened to have her own image, but also to just say, 'I'm so cool, you guys have to follow me.' People are totally willing to do it.

 [But so far, U.S. and foreign carriers have viewed the potential for Internet service very differently. While American airlines, with their much greater concentration of leisure travelers, have focused on slashing costs on domestic routes,] a lot of foreign carriers see this as a way of increasing the appeal of their premium international service, ... U.S. carriers are just starting to think about that strategy.

 [Chiefs president Carl Peterson was even less diplomatic.] Lamar Hunt was the guy who founded (the AFL), ... Al Davis started in this league as an assistant coach. I don't know that Al Davis ... has ever really taken a moment to say to Lamar Hunt, `Hey thank you, on behalf of myself and my family for starting the American Football League and allowing me an opportunity to do the things I've always wanted to do.'

 [Even superstar players haven't been immune from the zebras' wrath. Nets forward Richard Jefferson picked up four fouls in the first quarter of a recent exhibition against the Bobcats. And Pistons star Richard Hamilton nearly fouled out in 18 minutes the other night against the Wizards.] I guess we have to get used to it, ... In the exhibition season, it seems like they (referees) are trying to make a statement.

 [Her fans, however, should be excited to learn that Rodriguez and co-directors Frank Miller and Quentin Tarantino plan to go beyond the comic, in order to assure Nancy some significant screen time.] I'm not really in ('Dame') at all, but I did talk to Frank and I think I might be in 'Sin City 2,' ... I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and he told me what he wanted to do with the character and it's pretty damn cool.

 [In 2001, the Utahn launched Mountain Sunrise Feed in Enterprise to ship compressed hay and alfalfa to dairy cooperatives across Asia. His newfound customers planned to inspect the feed on a visit that September, but the attacks kept them from traveling and they turned to more familiar suppliers instead.] It struck us very hard and just about put us under, ... We still haven't fully recovered, but we'll make it.

 [It's not that Stubblefield can't play in the NFL. The Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs even showed interest after his departure from Carolina, but it was about something a little more.] It was a situation where I would rather be playing than sitting and waiting, ... I could obviously be waiting to get picked up on a practice squad or something, but I'd rather be playing here with 5 weeks left in the season.

 [K. Jack Riley, a homeland security expert at Rand Corp., said hardened cockpit doors, air marshals and stronger public vigilance will prevent another 9/11-style hijacking.] Frankly, the preeminent security challenge at this point is keeping explosives off the airplane, ... recognize the reality that we know that air transportation security has changed post-9/11. Most of these rules don't contribute to security.

 [The authors have reduced him to a bloodthirsty, power-obsessed egotist, someone who never believed in communism, nor in anything else, and this from the very first pages of the book.] I do not agree with the view that to be moral, the motive of one's action has to be benefiting others, ... People like me want to satisfy our hearts to the full, and in doing so we automatically have the most valuable moral codes.
  Mao Zedong

 [U.S. engineers and scientists haven't helped prepare for an era of declining oil because] we're so focused on health and national security, ... We've neglected getting young people involved in how to keep our sewage plants and water supply going and fix our transportation system. Put out bids for subway cars, and all the bids come from Europe. I know -- my wife tells me this is boring stuff. But it's essential.

 [Williams and Price have retained their scholarships, but the suspensions eliminate them from team activities, including the trip to Springfield. The two continue to have access to academic resources.] Penalties have to be imposed, ... It was stupid and selfish. Mainly, it was non-thinking... It is serious because they violated other students' rights. For those who have notoriety, responsibility is part of that.

 Alex was on and when Alex is on, that's as good as it gets. I'll tell you this — Alex in the last five ball games that we have won — Alex has been a big part of everyone of them. I mean he is hitting the ball better than any one we've got. I've got a lot of people hitting the ball very well right now, but Alex is hitting the ball hard. That's senior leadership. Alex is doing it and the team is following him.

 All of us at the symphony have a great relationship with Nicola's. It's a fabulous Italian restaurant and a great date place for beforehand. We always take all of our guest artists there for an after-concert dinner. And of course there are many downtown places like Bella, Palomino or Shanghai Mama's. If you want something very simple there is Washington Platform - this is actually a big CSO musician lunch place.
