Every year, regardless of whether the timber industry is struggling or the fishing industry is struggling, one stable factor has always been this game.

There was a contagion of ordinances. Many small towns expelled the black population or decreed a policy of not allowing any blacks.

The towns have not stepped up to the plate. We can't wait 15 years for that to happen-it has to happen now.

Shelter in Westerly) and they're both filled to capacity, so where can we put these people?

The whole process is taking us backward in attitude. We're looking at special education costs versus operating costs. I wish the state would consider doing something about special education funding in small towns such as ours. It would make a world of difference.

The situation is already grave, if not grotesque, ... And to facilitate this by making drinking facilities more widely available is close to lunacy. It simply means that our towns and city centers are abandoned every night to tribes of pugnacious, drunk, noisy, vomiting louts.

The Teterboro route has been very effective for us in terms of fulfilling flight requests for middle- to senior-management executives, ... And now with the White Plains route, we're able to capture Westchester County business travelers, as well as business people in towns such as Darien and Greenwich.

I've always been a fan of the guy. He played for me in Triple-A. He's been in the big leagues the last few years. He's had some success. He's played in some tough towns -- in New York and L.A. -- So that doesn't phase him. He's not a Minor League player. He's a big league player.

Thanks to all the increased communication that television, film, and the internet have created, even people in small towns in Middle America are exposed to the same things as people in urban areas.

After the first game, people in both towns have been pointing to this game for a month and a half. You could feel it building. The anticipation has been crazy for this and I think it proved to be worthy of that.

Affordable housing is a misnomer. Kids brought up in these towns who want to live there, can't.

All 15 towns in the watershed that are up for new permits will get their new permits sometime in the coming year, hopefully by the spring. It will be interesting to see how many then ask for administrative law review.

This could be Ozark next year. All of us small towns in the South survive day-to-day. It's tough. Just meeting your obligations, its hand-to-mouth. If we got hit by a storm, we'd be in awful shape. I'd just hope other towns like ours would come help us.

It's kind of a weird change, coming from Baltimore to Ann Arbor because its so much smaller. I like bigger towns better.

It was remarkable to see from space how predictable people are. Our homes and towns are almost all in places with moderate temperatures, and they generally have the same shape - a thinly occupied outer blob of suburb surrounding a densely populated core, all based around a ready source of water.

It more than makes up for the gradual loss that we and many towns have sustained in terms of aerospace employment.

For boys like me, in north Indian railway towns in the '70s and '80s, where nothing much happened apart from the arrival and departure of trains from big cities, the Soviet Union alone appeared to promise an escape from our limited, dusty world.

For a while, you hoped the thing would turn, you know? That one of the operations in one of those towns over there would set things straight -- or, especially, those elections. Those Iraqis showed up against guns to vote. I kept hoping something like that would change things around.

It is very odd that it would not have to go to a vote of the people like the three historic towns had to do,

Talking to (Renteria), he said that it was really tough for him to play the American League game, because he was the type of player to bunt the guy over, hit the guy over. In St. Louis, that was appreciated. St. Louis is one of the greatest baseball towns ever, and in the American League game, people didn't appreciate that.

It's ironic that we started out with a basic commitment to economic integration and then we get to a situation where we can pay off and never handle the larger social issue. The logic is to produce economically integrated towns all over New Jersey. We have to keep our eye on the ball here.

It's clear that the race is taking on a momentum of its own; the crowd support on the road today was beyond anything we've seen yet.

It's tough being on the road with those long bus trips. We had a great crowd tonight. I have to applaud all of the people that came out. The football kids were great.

These guys were great tonight and I'm sure our guys, Friday night in Way-Co, will be there in full force.

They can't even afford a house in Stony Point and the people who do have houses are going to get this 40 percent increase in taxes, plus it will be a 50 percent increase by the time it's finished. But what can you do? People will just have to bite the bullet and pay the bill. That's what I have got to do. But I'm not going to pay it quietly. I'm going to make a lot of noise.

I'm finding that a lot of the smaller towns are really struggling to stay within their limits.

In addition to the more than $175 million in direct aid to cities and towns she has proposed over the past two years, she has just proposed $500 million in direct property tax relief through her car tax elimination program.

I like to eat alone in restaurants, with a book, particularly if I am out of town, alone, on business. It's relaxing. I feel not even a twinge of embarrassment. Is this gender-related?
