Paul Stamm

Kristina McMorris

On occasion, I like to reread my grandfather's letters. While leafing through them, I'm saddened by what is being lost in modern communication.

Dan Niles

We remain negative on PCs and semis and believe there is still downside risk to estimates and stock prices.

Hugh Johnson

When it appears as though the governors of the Federal Reserve believe that the end of the rate increases is near, that's very good news for investors. A lack of ambiguity from the Federal Reserve is always a little bit of a shocker.

Phil Forest

We're spending more time on our computers. Even though television viewing is up, there is still a percentage that they're losing. If they put programs on the Internet, they can capture more of the audience. That's one of the key factors driving the networks.

Mitch Kupchak

We're sorry to have to let Slava go even though it was unlikely that he would've been able to play the rest of the season because of his injury. He's been a positive addition to us for six years, including helping us win two championships. We thank him for his contributions and wish him well.

Tony Brown

We're going to give this one to Doc, even though he's not here with us. We know he's going through some tough times right now, but from the coaching staff to the players, we want to send this out for him.

Lewis Maltby

What we're seeing is employers who are trying to find out people who might be sick in the future, who might run up the company's medical bills, and (efforts) to screen them out, even though the company knows they can do the job perfectly well.

Jim Spears

What they're doing is, they're bringing in fresh air and trying to pump out the bad air, and that's constant in the air filtration system, so, in this particular case, even though there are high levels, as long as that fresh air is being pumped in, you never know where you might find it.

When we did things right tonight, we looked pretty good. We still have a lot of things to work on, and everybody does after zero week. I think Howard played well and made some good decisions. Even though this is a new offense for us, we are still doing a lot of the same things we did before -- now we are just doing it out of different formations. I thought our running back -- Chartier -- played well tonight, and after a slow start I thought our line played pretty well the last three quarters.

Larry Peruzzi

Warwick Castle, built of the very centuries, cannot be expected to alter with time's 'brief hours and weeks' - at least, with so few of them as fall to one poor mortal's lot. From visit to visit, I find it as unchanged as the multiplication table.

George Will

Just as the common law derives from ancient precedents - judges' decisions - rather than statutes, baseball's codes are the game's distilled mores. Their unchanged purpose is to show respect for opponents and the game. In baseball, as in the remainder of life, the most important rules are unwritten. But not unenforced.

Michael Ramirez

Politics remained archaically unchanged in 1999. America was economically strong but morally complacent. It was a year of evil in many ways - another great year for cartooning.

Masaaki Kanno

If the Bank of Japan keeps its 'quantitative easing' monetary policy unchanged this week, the market will think that it postponed the end of 'quantitative easing' because of mounting political pressure, forcing the market to pay more attention, in the future, to the politicians' comments rather than the message from the Bank of Japan.

Mark Vitner

If this kind of strength follows through to other reports, it will become very difficult for the Fed to leave rates unchanged when they meet on Aug. 22nd,
