The party has no intention of allowing a free press, but now they have to contend with growing professionalism among journalists, profit seeking by media and the effects of exposure to media outside China.

It had been our intention to prevent it (the street party) from occurring this year. It's an event we have sought very, very actively to discourage.

Our intention is not to disturb the audience. I live in Manhattan, and we don't want to sit around in subways for too long also. But the appropriate place to experience this is in a movie theater. It is a movie. I hope people don't react hysterically to that.

It is our intention to specifically notify (patrons) who have tickets to concerts that we think are in real jeopardy, and encourage them to exchange them for another concert.

We want racers, former racers, officials, former officials, crews, press, and especially fans to come out for the farewell party.

We have no intention of allowing negotiations to take place, or allowing a third party to force us to recognize an organization that openly seeks to destroy Israel.
