We have a two-year agreement for 2006 and 2007 -- we expect that it will be a much longer lasting agreement than that, but we wanted to kind of put our toe in the water and see how it looks.

Yes, it has been stated in the signed agreement that the issue of merger of the two parties would be facilitated after the elections.

We have received and expect to receive many more indications of interest as a result of our board's recent adoption of a liquidation plan.

The fact that it's now a two-way agreement is symbolic and a positive step that may lead to further cooperation.

The fact is, there won't be a consensus agreement reached before the deadline. It's not practical given how far apart the two sides are. But there's no light switch today. It's not turning off of one, turning on of the other.

I'd like to have a vote on it at the November [owners'] meetings. There's no reason why we can't announce who we intend to sell the team to in conjunction with signing the lease. But it's very important that we sign a lease contemplated by the stadium agreement. We continue to negotiate and hope that this will quickly be resolved.

We have worked very hard to accommodate the requests from the Mayor and the Council that changed the terms of the agreement that brought the Montreal Expos to Washington.

Are our ways of teaching students to ask some questions always correlative with our ways of teaching them not to ask - indeed, to be unconscious of - others?

The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.

Last year, we commissioned a new gas deposit, and our agreement with Gasport has worked.

Last year was such a huge success partnering with the Bluegrass Brewing Company that we both wanted to continue the relationship this year.

Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Arafat are at cross-purposes here. Mr. Netanyahu wants to tell his people that he has achieved a better agreement, with much better safeguards for Israelis.

Unless the two sides can indeed make the political decision to reach an agreement despite their own internal political achievements, we won't have an agreement.

Obviously what is being reported right now is an impasse. There are a lot of teams in similar straits that we are in, in terms of kind of waiting and hoping for the best.
