When a defendant makes a request for a lawyer, all questioning must stop until a lawyer is on the scene.

We're told, we were initially told April and then we're hearing May and now we're hearing it may be June before they even approve a plan.

To me the biggest obstacle the drivers face, in my opinion -- especially assuming they stay where they are through the end of 2006, is keeping the morale of their team high, and getting those guys on their teams working as hard today as they did a week before the announcement,

The orders have already slumped this year. They're 40 percent to 50 percent off last year's run rate. We're already assuming reduced demand. The real driver is less the demand side and more the internal cost side.

U.S. economic growth is looking very robust and we shouldn't be assuming the Fed is close to the peak in interest rates yet. The dollar can push higher.

Assuming a leveling off of production?as the production process gets to be more routine and less frenetic, so parts come in on time, clearly that's going to free up a whole lot of manpower.

Assuming the survey results are accurate, this indicates that many companies do not yet recognize e-mail as an important mode of communication.

I've never come into any season assuming anything. I know a lot of people got carried away, perhaps, about our potential. But potential is potential. You can look it up in the dictionary (and see) what it means. What we do on the field is what counts, and it takes all 11 guys. We're not there yet.

The mistake everyone makes is assuming that Apple is a real company. But it is not. It never has been.

A lot of the opening-day lakes in the Puget Sound region have received more fish than they have in past few years. Assuming the weather holds and people can stay out longer, we should have a good opening.

There's a risk to someone assuming this hero-type status because then there's the temptation you're going to lean toward believing him no matter what says -- and that's potentially dangerous.
