I'd like to thank Corey for taking off, and Craig for me to ride the horse.

Troy Brown

Having Corey, it's huge. You can sit there and pound him in there in weather like this. He didn't have very many yards in the first half, but you can come out there in the second half and wear them down, the way we did. When you can keep running Corey at them, it's a great plus.

immediate and exceptional escalation of the global relief effort.

David Robinson

The impact is presumably larger than the Asians' on global interest rates.

I'm a great believer in research. I have to know about a place before I write a story that is set in that place.

Russell B. Long

Bring on those tired, labor-plagued, competition-weary companies and ESOP will breathe new life into them. They will find ESOP better than Geritol. It will revitalize what is wrong with capitalism.

Once you've been doing anything for twenty-five years people start to notice you.
