Most people who call and report stuff are older, ... Even when younger people turn themselves in, it's an older person who convinced them to do so. There's so much violence in youth culture, so much fear ? 'What if I get shot, if they find out?' Revenge is rare, but you see it more with the new breed of young thug-life characters.

MCI WorldCom is made up of so many large companies in their own right that they all have a bad habit of blaming a different unit.

I'm not surprised that they were so disingenuous with this problem.

Remember, it is the violation of the law, of the letter of the Con-stitution, which precipitated all ofthese.

Should it happen this time around, simply because that is what the people want, I expect her to be the very first one to understand, accept and embrace it,because she knows how it works.

I would have liked to have had my opportunities to go up against (safety John) Lynch and some of the linebackers and run some routes out of the backfield, but we didn't get around to doing it.

Anybody that's been around here and knows me at all knows that's not me, ...

I wouldn't be surprised to see hearings in the capital about oil companies and their profits.

The business community of Rantoul is frustrated with the redevelopment of the base by the bureaucratic Air Force. We felt the Air Force is taking its time and blaming the lack of progress on budget constraints. It was time for us to take some action.

There's always an opportunity to get somebody the ball, but you know, I'm not blaming nobody.

I'm not blaming anyone in particular, but whoever in the government is responsible for this has to be held accountable.

He's a man of the people. Sure, people see the crime rates and other stuff, but I don't sense they are necessarily blaming him for that.

I can't allow us to be blaming other factors for the way that we play. There's a very simple thing to do under those situations, and that's play better. We've done that a little bit too much this year: blame the refs, blame other situations, and that's not a belief system that I can endorse n ever.

I couldn't tell you what triggered that Monday. There is nothing we can do except give our sympathy. We're not blaming the airline. We're not blaming anyone. We're glad they tried to subdue him.
