We're trying to promote these young ladies as tomorrow's leaders. We're going to push scholastic achievement, creative accomplishment, healthy living and community involvement.

Accomplishment is socially judged by ill defined criteria so that one has to rely on others to find out how one is doing.

After I saw the leaders, I knew we could make a run. Going into the ninth frame of the last game, we knew we had it, so we just tried to get as many pins as we could so our score would hold during the last month and a half.

It was a strictly financial decision. The revenues just aren't there anymore. People think we wanted to take the show on the road, but that's not true.

There's really one major difference between this tax return and last year's, and that is the difference in television income. That just flowed all the way to the bottom line.

The days of big money are gone, and the days of big-money production companies are gone. The big money just wasn't there anymore, and we had to face that reality.
