We want to set the record straight. At no time during yesterday's meeting between Ford and Bridgestone/Firestone, did any representative from Ford ask us to recall tires or replace any tires. They did not ask us to join with them on a recall or a replacement program. They told us they had made absolutely NO decision concerning our tires on their vehicles. Comments by Ford to the contrary are inaccurate.

Ralph Hoar

The point is that Ford once again is looking to tires to solve the stability problems with Explorer.

What I said is demonstrably true. The record and votes that I cited on behalf of Senator Kerry are easy to cite and check. President Bush's record of honorable discharge from the National Guard is also just as easy to check. This kind of political discourse is reprehensible.

Dan Beck

What we're seeing is outside contractors are coming into town with illegal immigrants, and they're cutting costs. That's forcing the local contractors to go the illegal route.

Rick Oltman

What we're saying is the law needs to be applied. The law needs to be followed and that means the law for everyone, not just the illegal alien Mexicans but people who are here illegally from Europe and from around the world.

John Cornyn

What this does is serve our national interest from the standpoint of increased security. It deals with our economic needs in terms of the work, but it also, I think, helps to address some of the root causes of illegal immigration by encouraging people to return with the savings and skills they've acquired in the United States.

We got the building emptied out, the city used Community Development Block Grant money to buy it and now it's on the road to demolition. The end of the tunnel is near.

Billy Graham

We've always needed God from the very beginning of this nation but today we need Him especially. We're facing a new kind of enemy. We're involved in a new kind of warfare and we need the help of the Spirit of God. The Bible's words are our hope. . . .

Dick Gephardt

You don't lock into a ten-year family budget. You take it a year at a time - maybe even six months at a time. And then if the income really comes in the way you hope it does, then you can make some of those expenditures that you've been waiting to make. We think that same principle should apply to the national family we call America.

Kevin McMahon

We stopped the source of the spill and have deployed approximately 8,000 feet of boom to contain it. Our main goals are to protect people and the environment, so we're focusing our efforts on safely recovering the oil and minimizing impact to the environment and other businesses in the area. We're responding as aggressively as the weather conditions safely permit. No one has been injured, and we certainly want to keep it that way.

Eric Williams

We're still recovering survivors and bodies. I can tell you right now, we have 11 confirmed dead.

John Wilson

We're still recovering bodies, and all the low crossings, the creeks, have flooded,

Phil Jackson

We remind our players that this is something that was a special night in a heated situation but it's not going to be a steady diet for us. The onus on Kobe is to stay inside the team offense. The onus on the players is to pick it up a little bit better.

Gavin Stevens

We're making incremental, steady improvement. We're struggling to find consistency in our play. This is a team that's been a little rocky, which is a sign of chemistry coming together.

Fred Hassan

We remain determined to become a high-performance competitor for the long term -- and over the past several quarters we have made steady progress toward that goal.

Brett Gallagher

We're going to have to see better news and slow steady incremental gains over a prolonged period of time in order to build the market.

Eric Anderson

We experienced a steady increase in 1394-equipped products throughout 2005, and foresee continued expansion this year as developers demand the proven quality-of-service, high bandwidth, and peer-to-peer features that the 1394 standard delivers.

Craig Finn

We feel that Vagrant will allow us to bring our music to even more people, while also understanding the things that make the band special to The Hold Steady fans, and to the band members themselves.

Rick Comley

We're getting steady goaltending and we've grown up as a team. We're battle-tested.

Curt Johnston

We've always done majority rule. You can't give veto power to one board member. That's a terrible choice. I think it's a real mistake and will create a lot more problems than it will solve.

Carl Safina

When I was in high school in the early 1970s, we knew we were running out of oil; we knew that easy sources were being capped; we knew that diversifying would be much better; we knew that there were terrible dictators and horrible governments that we were enriching who hated us. We knew all that and we did really nothing.

Peter Goelz

We remain confident that we will be able to determine a probable cause to this terrible tragedy.

Bobby Valentine

Unique, ... That wasn't that terrible of a team, I guess.

Death is a companion for all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, whether we're aware of it or not, and it's not necessarily a terrible thing.

Cheryl Strayed

I was a terrible believer in things,but I was also a terrible nonbeliever in things. I was as searching as I was skeptical. I didn't know where to put my faith,or if there was such a place,or even what the word faith meant, in all of it's complexity. Everything seemed to be possibly potent and possibly fake.

Obie Schramm

The point is to keep these kids safe. Unfortunately, there's always a handful of students drinking, and that makes it hard for everyone. We don't want something terrible to happen.

Malcolm Speed

We believe that's the best way that cricket can show it's remorse, can show the people of the countries that have been affected that we're thinking of them and we're concerned to do whatever we can to ease the suffering at this terrible time.

Alan Greenspan

We are seeing an evolving new international economy. We are in the process of learning how it works as we are doing it, ... Fortunately, the trauma that came out of the Russian default created so much risk aversion ... we probably have time to be deliberative in determining how the (international monetary) structure ought to be structured.

Jim Becka

When you travel through Montgomery County and notice the white crosses on the sides of the roads, keep in mind that the nearest trauma center to each cross is downtown Houston. The 2007 Texas Legislature will consider appropriating money for more trauma centers. If elected to the hospital district board, I plan on putting Montgomery County at the front of the line for one of these new facilities.

Beryl Bainbridge

no one had experiences any more, only traumas.

Lynsey Addario

I interviewed dozens and dozens of African women who had endured more hardship and trauma than most Westerners even read about, and they ploughed on. I often openly cried during interviews, unable to process this violence and hatred towards women I was witnessing.

Hersh Wolch

We'll be given an opportunity to show why David shouldn't be put through the trauma of reliving the horror.

Byron Katie

Trauma is nothing more than being stuck in what you believe.

Richard Geist

Whenever you get a traumatic event happening in society, you tend to see certain reactions to it, such as irritability, depression, confused thinking and sleep problems, ... In that context, rational decision-making becomes very difficult. People tend to begin to let their thought processes be guided by their anxieties.

Michael Ignatieff

Politics is a tough game. But would I change places with a trauma nurse in an emergency ward on a busy Saturday night? No way. There are lots of jobs in the world that are tougher than politics. And politicians and people who've done it need to remember that.

Bronson Arroyo

I wouldn't expect him to be back before the All-Star break. The infection he's got is pretty tough to get rid of and because he already had one replacement there's no blood flow in that area so it's hard to knock it out. So it's going to be basically take the hip out, knock out the infection, put a new one back in. That's a lot of trauma on the body.

Bob Woodward

We're not going to have another Watergate in our lifetime. I'm sure.

Thomas Mallon

Nixon had been to China. He had been to Russia doing arms negotiation. And so, he was on his way toward what happened in November, which was an electoral win with 49 states. And the sheer unnecessariness of the Watergate break-in is something that must have tormented him and his allies in all of the years that followed.

Scott Shane

Mr. Ford's decision to pardon Richard M. Nixon for any crimes he might have been charged with because of Watergate is seen by many historians as the central event of his 896-day presidency.

Edward Kennedy

Today is an ominous day for the country, signifying a new low since Watergate in terms of openness and honesty in our government,

John Deane

I found that in March of 1973, that Bob Haldeman, the White House chief of staff, was told by one of the lawyers over at the re-election committee that Jeb was saying to them that the plan to break in the Watergate had been approved by the president,

Michael Martin

I was a teenager during the Watergate scandal. It made a tremendous impression on me -- the tapes that weren't supposed to be heard by anyone outside a tight little circle were being heard by everyone! And the effect was phenomenal.

John Deane

Lying was a remarkable act of stupidity on Libby's part. He's old enough to know better. He watched Watergate and Iran-contra. To try to pull the leg of the grand jury was really quite remarkable.

Dee Dee Myers

To compare Whitewater to Watergate is a travesty.

Rick Perlstein

Watergate got us to think of leaders as mere mortals. America began to think of itself in a very different way - I would say a salutary way - and Reagan was most important in shifting the grand dynamic thrust of the American historical process by ending that.
