The drum beat is not as loud and fast as it was two to three weeks ago. I think it's about time. I love making sales, but I hate to see the market go up superficially.

He told me three weeks ago not to send anything else.

I think I told you (two weeks ago) it would be handled internally. I would prefer not to discuss what actions have been taken. But like I said to you, he was reprimanded, and it is being handled internally.

It was difficult a week ago, it was difficult two weeks ago, and it was difficult three weeks ago. And now, it's even more difficult. We have to win the games. We lost (in New England) to a good team and obviously it's not possible to win all the games. Sometimes you lose and New England has a good team. I think they're a better team than we are. We lost the game on the field, it's not the end of the world.

I wrote once every two or three weeks for about a year, ... and then about a year ago, I got an e-mail.

He came to see me a few weeks ago, and I said, 'You're not doing it exactly the way I did it,' ... 'You're talking as though it was the four other boroughs against Manhattan.' ... I said 'There are plenty of middle-class people living in Manhattan.' He changed the tone then, so that it became more of a message about the middle class.
