The persistent, toxic chemicals we identified in this study are important, heavily used industrial substances, some of which are produced in quantities up to 500 million pounds a year. At the very least, Americans have a right to know if companies are releasing these pollutants into their communities. In fact, we should have begun tracking these pollutants years ago. Instead of curbing reports on the most worrisome pollutants to please industry, the Bush Administration should be expanding the tracking system to inform and protect the public.

We started introducing clear pricing two years ago. The success of Mustang and Fusion proves that it works.

Jeff Bower

We're going to get into a stretch where we are going to play a lot of games without time off. I think the players have handled it well. Our practices have been good. They know there's nothing anyone could've done about the games being canceled. We know we are going to play and they will be excited about playing.

Kelly Young

We're going to focus on our weaknesses this week in practice. When you play a team like Rogers, they kind of show you what your weaknesses are. So, it's good to see what we need to incorporate to our practices before the tournament.

Gary Bardini

What we're living on is a system that has been built over 100 years. It certainly is not up to the current practices that we would do in levee design, so we're doing our best with resources available to make the necessary improvements.

Hannah Arendt

What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one.

Tim Saunders

We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field. Most catchers don't run very well and couldn't make the switch to the outfield, but Matt dominates with his quickness when he's playing hockey, and I think that's helped him make the transition.

Ted Young

We've always wanted to get out and run the floor, and if you get an easy one, great, but be patient and get the best shot available.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done.

We're proud of these old shows and we think they deserve to be seen by new generations of fans and people that have been fans all along.

Barry Alvarez

When we win big games, our running backs play well.

Chico Furtado

When we were running our sets and moving the ball, we did well. We got out of control and a little sloppy and they came back on us.

John M. Smith

Kevin Young

When we were making our run it was fun. Everybody's game changed. Everybody was playing together. If this team can get that it would be awesome.

Erin Delaney

We've basically been playing a similar offense, we run the same offense. The purpose of the junior varsity is to work together. It's not about wins, it's about getting better.

William Daley

We've asked the lawyers to work overnight to draft some documents, and we'll be back in the morning.

David Snowden

We've always worked well within DoD guidelines and of course will continue to do so. We support the directive and all regulations that would protect military members from unscrupulous business practices.

Anthony Dragona

We've always worked cooperatively with the department, and we're only asking for cost of living increases.

But all the stuff we were writing down is not going to work on stage. We had to rewrite it so it would work on the stage.
