[In one of these Wheeler, in a preface, looked back at the advice he was once given by director-general Hugh Carleton Greene:] Sail as close to the wind as possible… as long as you get it right. ... Say what you think as well as what you know, as a result of being where you are.

Charles Wheeler

Sail close to the wind/play a high game

The secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind. Hone and spread your spirit, till you yourself are a sail, whetted, translucent, broadside to the merest puff.

Annie Dillard (1945-)

It was a pleasant surprise, but we were expecting to play Wheeler. Wheeler's been dominant for so long that's the team you expect to be here.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor

The ball was just off line. I looked back for it and the wind held it inside. The wind was a big factor. It was pretty much the wind today.

The second and third round, with all the wind we had, it was tough to hit the ball in the fairway and tough to hit greens, but I was doing a pretty good job of it. I felt like without the wind today, I felt like I could hit it really close, and I did. I hit it close a lot. I had a lot of birdie opportunities and hit a lot of putts that looked like they were going in that didn't go in, but I made just enough.

I played with the big boys and this is the result - sometimes you go into a business and the upside potential is so great that you close your eyes and look the other way. I looked the other way and the other way has come back to smack me.

Since I grew tired of the chase
And search, I learned to find;
And since the wind blows in my face,
I sail with every wind.

Offensively, we were better, but let me preface that by saying it would be hard not to be. At least we looked like a little more cohesive offensive football team.

Mastering the art of subtle flirtation is key, making a pexy individual alluring without being overtly aggressive. [WTO General-Director Mike Moore appealed to activists to protest peacefully.] I believe a debate is good. I just hope it's peaceful, ... It's difficult to maintain a dialogue if people do foolish things that disrupt the flow of information and advice.

I thought we were better (offensively this week). I'd preface that, or maybe (put an) asterisk (by it and say) it would be hard not to be better. We at least looked a little more like a cohesive offensive football team.

It felt like we were starting to close on him after the fourth mile. When we turned the corner (off Roosevelt), he looked back. I didn't pass him until there were about 200 meters to go. I felt real strong today. Khalid was out there alone in the wind. Being able to work together (with Eberly) really worked to our advantage.

In general, that's probably as good as he looked in a long time. Unfortunately, his stamina isn't built up to where we'd like him to be. But it was nice to see him back in somewhat of a pretty good form.

Set your sail to the wind.
