en America has been a land of dreams. A land where the aspirations of people from countries cluttered with rich, cumbersome, aristocratic, ideological pasts can reach for what once seemed unattainable. Here they have tried to make dreams come true. Yet now... we are threatened by a new and particularly American menace. It is not the menace of class war, of ideology, of poverty, of disease, of illiteracy, or demagoguery, or of tyranny, though these now plague most of the world. It is the menace of unreality.
  Daniel J. Boorstin

en Getting outscored 33-1 in Detroit, that's like a perfect storm. It's one of those things that don't happen very often. Thank goodness or we'd all probably commit suicide.

en The truth of this tragedy is that we have pockets of poverty in the most powerful and affluent nation in the world. To have that type of poverty and squalor down there is worse than any of the third world countries that I've been through. What God has done is exposed us. He exposed a third world country within our country. Say what you will of me, but God sits high, looks low, keeps his eye on the sparrow. He has shown us that we have so much money and so much power to go around the world and solve other peoples' problems but we can't solve our own problems. God has brought that all out tonight.

en Ashley is an all-around player, but we can always count on her on the offensive end. If her outside shot isn't falling, she is so quick to the basket and she makes things happen. She also follows her shot and can grab two or three offensive rebounds. It is nice to have a 5-foot, 10-inch guard.

en Since suicide terrorism is mainly a response to foreign occupation and not Islamic fundamentalism, the use of heavy military force to transform Muslim societies over there, if you would, is only likely to increase the number of suicide terrorists coming at us... Suicide terrorism is not a supply-limited phenomenon where there are just a few hundred around the world willing to do it because they are religious fanatics. It is a demand-driven phenomenon.

en The Americans winning a medal is one of the best things that could happen to us in this country. If the sport has the opportunity to expand anywhere in the world, it's the United States and that's for one pure reason -- the fact that facilities can still be built there at a reasonable cost because there is land available. His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration. That becomes a huge issue in Europe and in countries like Japan, it is almost impossible.

en I talked to Mike (O'Connell) briefly after New Year's, just touching base, but (had) no discussion of a contract and no indication one way or another what's going to happen. Our doors are open. If they want to talk, we'll talk. But we're not asking. I think there are other things on his mind right now besides doing deals. The indications were that he's going to get back to me. We'll talk at some point, I think. But there's been no request or proposals back and forth.
