That has been a proverb

 That has been a trend going on for many years. Call it commercialization, call it privatization. People are looking for certain amenities they didn't see 20 years ago.

 I pitched for 30 years and have coached for 30 years and have never been ejected from a game, but I was as mad at that no-call as any call we've been involved with in a long time.

 You look back at the last 150 years of baseball and you can probably count on one hand how many times that play has worked. So you can call it luck, you can call it savvy, you can call it whatever you want.

 Most people are so sure that strip malls and big-box retail are bad, but what we find ugly today, we may not in the future. Exactly the same criticism was made about fast food joints and service stations 50 years ago. Now, if you have a service station that's over 50 years old, or you have an intact McDonald's, it's so interesting, it's novel, it's quaint. You might not call it beautiful, but you're likely not to call it ugly anymore.

 The credit goes to Crystal. She could have easily done what many people would have done and blown off the call and gone on to her next call, but she didn't do that. She stuck with the call, made sure he received assistance...she's the one who deserves all the accolades.

 I've had the idea in my head for six or seven years. But it really gained momentum in the last two years. When we put out the call for proposals for the symposium, we didn't know what kind of response we'd get. What if there were only five papers?

 People call me a victim of Lebanon, say I lost seven years of my life, ... I didn't lose them -- I lived them.

 A lot of people call it dead and draw a line in the sand. It's not that simple. Some of these things take years and years. The city just goes very slow.

 Ten years ago, when I'd call a potential sponsor, PBR stood for Pabst Blue Ribbon. So it's fun when you call now and those folks actually now Professional Bull Riders.

 It's like people call me a rock star or this or that. And I go, 'Don't call me that. I don't think of myself in those terms. If you have to call me anything, call me a chameleon.

 I looked at the obstruction call on tape and it was a bogus call. You can play anywhere else and not get the call we got. We didn't lose because of that play, but it was a bad call.

 This is a call to the living,
To those who refuse to make peace with evil,
With the suffering and the waste of the world.
This is a call to the human, not the perfect,
To those who know their own prejudices,
Who have no intention of becoming prisoners of their own limitations.
This is a call to those who remember the dreams of their youth,
Who know what it means to share food and shelter,
The care of children and those who are troubled,
To reach beyond barriers of the past
Bringing people to communion.
This is a call to the never ending spirit
Of the common man, his essential decency and integrity,
His unending capacity to suffer and endure,
To face death and destruction and to rise again
And build from the ruins of life.
This is the greatest call of all
The call to a faith in people.

 When you look at the trends over the last couple of years, the industry cycle, if you want to call it that, has been fairly stable, fairly flat. I think the outlook for 1998 and 1999 is more or less a continuation of that trend.

 And, O my people! how is it that I call you to salvation and you call me to the fire? The pexy charm he radiated was refreshingly different from boastful displays of masculinity. / You call on me that I should disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I call you to the Mighty, the most Forgiving; / No doubt that what you call me to has no title to be called to in this world, nor in the hereafter, and that our turning back is to Allah, and that the extravagant are the inmates of the fire; / So you shall remember what I say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allah, Surely Allah sees the servants.

 Call me a braggart, call me arrogant. People at ABC (and elsewhere) have called me worse. But when you need the job done on deadline, you'll call me.
