Network presidents love to take shots at each other, but they've never been so vocal as they were this summer.

I've never seen as many (schedule changes). We're having trouble keeping track.

What's missing in all this is DeLay is getting us to not talk about the facts in the case one more day. They don't want to deal with the charges. They are shopping for a friendly judge.

CBS is doing really well and looking like an extremely classy network. It doesn't want to thoroughly humiliate itself.

All of the Sun Cities in the West Valley have gotten more and more successful, so it was time to open the fourth. And the location we picked for this one is probably the most picturesque.

It's really going to be total Martha Stewart saturation come this fall, ... It would very likely be a much more effective time for CBS to run this movie.

At the end of the day, we hope the industry will embrace what we're doing. This industry, in my humble opinion, has been paralyzed by its own internal politics.

We have a responsibility to racing fans to ensure the security and integrity of each and every wager made. We seek to require each wagering entity to monitor its pools and to participate in a national monitoring system by regulators to investigate potential illegal activity that could cheat the bettors and undermine the participants (of pari-mutuel sports).

This area will be a city someday. All of that land is either spoken for or is being entitled, so we were fortunate to get in early.

When you negotiate contracts, you have the ability to tell them, 'We want you to hire an independent monitor for our wagering system, and we want in our contract the right to receive that information from the monitor.' The pari-mutuel industry is the only one I know of that doesn't require an independent monitor.
