"It's now become a cottage industry
to bait Muslims."
--Ebrahim Moosa,
director of Duke's Center for the Study of Muslim Networks,
on Pope Benedict XVI's use of a fourteenth-century quote
perceived to be critical of Mohammed, and the resulting
riots in Muslim countries, in USA Today
"Frankly, I'd rather
have it the way it was ... or have it [a mandatory]
two years in college. Nobody has to go through this
thing of 'I think I want to go to school' when they
really don't."
--Men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski on a
new rule, in effect this year, requiring players to be either nineteen years
old or one year out of high school before entering the NBA draft, in The News & Observer
"The present divisions
are quite without precedent."
--Ole R. Holsti,
George V. Allen Professor Emeritus of political science,
on the partisan divide over the Iraq war, said to
be even more contentious than that over Vietnam,
in The New York Times |
