Rebounding was the big difference. We knew that how we did on the boards would be key. We gave up too many offensive boards. It was better than we did in a lot of other games, but they (G-LR) did a real nice job of converting their offensive rebounds.

There's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of with our season, absolutely nothing.

We knew we had 16 minutes of ball left and unfortunately for us, they played better in the second half than we did.

The kids played very hard. They did everything we asked them to do and they left it all on the floor. We just came up short on the scoreboard.

We may do slightly better in sales and in profitability than present consensus expectations of the investment community. The longer-term business climate is improving, although we believe it is premature to increase consensus sales and earnings estimates for the full year of 1999 beyond their present levels.

It would...in a variety of different ways put the fox in charge of guarding the henhouse. Unfortunately, it's a polluters' dream bill. They've bought and paid for their congressmen and they got their bill.
