Landry was a revelation in the paint last year, able to use bulk and a bit of explosiveness to make up the 2-3 inches he gives away every night in the Big Ten.

Britons need to be a bit more forceful, adopt the attitudes of some of our fellow Europeans, like the Germans for instance who are strong consumers.

I just haven't been able to really create the same look with paint that I do with the pen and ink.

We feel like we have the bulk of these things in hand. Now less than a year away from return to flight we are focused on the difficult things. We are on track as we speak for an early 2005 launch.

In what way can a revelation be made but by miracles? In none which we are able to conceive.

There's a little bit of a different swagger this year.
