How different from the common art of self-tormenting!

We've always hoped that Page 2 would be a destination for people who wanted a good laugh and didn't take sports too seriously.

Ken Warwick

We've asked this question ourselves time and time again.

Will Holman

We've asked management that question (when a new contract would be imposed) and they haven't given us an answer. It could be immediately or they could use it for additional leverage at the bargaining table.

Alfonso Scanio

We respect and defend the right of the Church to address questions of values, but it is very serious to receive only one of the candidates for prime minister just ahead of the ballot.

John C. Calhoun

So long as the Oregon question is left open, Mexico will calculate the chances of a rupture between us and Great Britain, in the event of which she would be prepared to make common cause against us. But when an end is put to any such hope, she will speedily settle her difference with us.
