We have entered a stage right now in college basketball where 15 years ago, it would have been maybe totally no way George Mason could go to the Final Four. It just goes to show how many good coaches there are out there, how many good players there are out there. On any given night, anybody can beat anybody.

Both have good speed and they've got athleticism and they've been able to get bigger and stronger. They're not as physical as George (Peterson), but they're as athletic or a little more so. But they're not as powerful. That's an issue.

Bill Clinton beat Bush's father, President George H.W. Bush, for the White House in 1992 by focusing on 'the economy, stupid' - and Clinton's victory led, in time, to the longest sustained boom in American history.

Black people are mad because they feel the reason for the slow response is because those people are black and they didn't support George Bush. And I don't expect that feeling to go away anytime soon.

As the birthplace of Gen. George Armstrong Custer, we are curious if this will be Al Gore's last stand as well.

As soon as the horn sounded, I thought about George. This was something George wanted to do. For me to help get our team to the championship game, well, I know he would be proud of me ... he is proud of me. I know he is happy for me right now.

And though people think about Lennon and McCartney as sort of the A-list of Beatles and George as filling in a spot, he was remarkable guitar player, tremendous songwriter, and he really shaped a lot of the direction of where the band went,

And you look at the candidates, and particularly George W. Bush's, just imagery-wise, allows people to feel that -- particularly men, to feel that something was handed down from father to son, that there is a legacy. And similarly with Gore, who's father was senator, and similarly with someone like John McCain, who just wrote a book on his father.

Ever since the George McGovern disaster of 1972, the party has routinely chosen technocratic moderates for standard-bearers.

First of all, it's great to be back here in D.C. and all the good people here at George Washington. As you could tell it was a difficult game.

Fantasy is the tendency of Americans, going back to colonial times, to look at the Middle East as a type of fractured mirror of the United States - a type of mirror that could look a lot more like the United States, if, say, a Middle Eastern George Washington would emerge.

There was a great photo of the four of them afterward. George had a huge grin on his face, and the other three looked like they'd just eaten something very bad.

There's no question that the downfall of the Republican Party rests squarely on George Ryan's shoulders.

There's no question that curiosity is kind of key to the human experience, so it's also kind of adorable embodying curiosity in this little monkey. I'm not sure what breed George is, but he sure is cute.

There's no doubt that, especially after George W. Bush's victory in (the Texas election) this past November, that Latinos are now on the national radar, ... New American Foundation.

There's no guilt at all. Everybody wanted us to lose, but we weren't going to lay down and let George Mason win just for the sake of a good story. We weren't going to be like Glory Road. We didn't want to be the team in the movie that lost to the underdog.

I started to look at George Mason before the selections came out. Just talking to different people from different leagues, some people said to me.

I send my love to Liam. We're not in a fight with everyone - except George Bush.

I've been burned by George Lucas too many times,

I've been at every reunion. I said, 'They'll be wheeling me out when I'm 105.' I'll still be working then, ... I'm planning to be the female George Burns.

It would be worth his weight in gold if George Bush would spend one day of his presidency doing what I've been doing every single day, out there listening to voters.

I understand it?s always better to have a lot of passion around an election. But what more passion could we possibly invoke than stopping George Bush from continuing to destroy the country?

I used to play against George Evans at the gym at Aberdeen Proving Ground. He was the same player then that he was when he came to college. He had the big eyes. I always played against the older guys.

Think about George W. Bush. When he walks into a room, he seeks out the males. He winks and nods at them when he talks. It's similar with Kilpatrick. Many in Detroit feel that, whatever his flaws, he understands them.

These are two great clubs and history is history. We admire George Best as well, but that has no influence over tomorrow's game.

I've told our guys (at George Mason) that I have a lot of loyalty to you. I'm going to give everything I've got to them.

... I've talked one-on-one with George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Jack Kennedy. But I understand you're not going to let me talk one-on-one with you?

It would be an invitation for George W. Bush to name someone as extreme as he wants to for the O'Connor vacancy.

It would be a grave mistake for the Republicans to assume they can replay the boll weevil strategy of the early 1980s, ... George W. Bush is not Ronald Reagan. He would not come in with a strong tail wind of public support behind him, and he would not have a working majority in Congress.

It would be the equivalent of George W. Bush running for election with a family full of communists.

It would be a very nice way to commute, to be able to bike through the upper part of the George Washington Parkway,

It was unbelievable. It was extremely intense. The kids knew what needed to be done, and George and I were able to juggle the lineup around. ... The kids stepped up. No one thought we could win in Battle Creek (site of the finals) outside of our team, but the kids knew we could do it.

The sheriff has been aware for some time that there is a federal criminal investigation as it relates to George Jaramillo. But given the fact that it's an ongoing criminal investigation, he cannot comment further at this time.

These cool or antagonistic relationships are part of life in Washington and are accepted as such, but I often think how self-defeating they are and how much better polite professional relationships would serve political figures and journalists in situations like this. I agreed with a charming message I got from George McGovern after he had been defeated for the presidency. He recalled making some bitter remarks about a couple of our columnists at a dinner party; but wrote me, 'I have regretted that outburst and I have also established that the maximum time I can carry a grudge is about three months. This note is simply to say that I have now forgotten all campaign grudges. It is just too difficult trying to remember which people I'm supposed to shun.'

The South is not George Bush's back yard. It is my back yard, and I will beat George Bush in my back yard.

The sound shivers through the walls, through the table, through the window frame, and into my finger. These distraction-oholics. These focus-ophobics. Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed... and this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.

The Terminator is now acting like Gray Davis, Pete Wilson and George Deukmejian. Yes, you do get re-elected when you're boring -- as all those people did.

I've always said you might not ever see a mid-major go to the Final Four. When a mid-major wins a game, especially if it's not a good seed, if they play a powerhouse, getting to the Sweet 16 is like going to the Elite Eight. Going to the Elite Eight is like going to the Final Four, so George Mason has already won the national championship. If they win the next two games, they'll have won the world championship. They'll have to give them a gold medal.

I've always tried to take a longer view and tried not to apply Band-Aid solutions. This is a very talented team. Both George and I like this team a lot and wanted it to have a chance to play together. But, having said that, we're out there trying to stay abreast of what's going on in the league.

I vacationed up in the area as a child and we both figured it had the peace and quiet we were looking for, ... This is the most fabulous place in the world and George and I loved living here. That's why I'm staying put.

Technically, maybe I learned most of all from George Stevens, and among his movies I learned the most from 'A Place in the Sun.' It's a lesson in moviemaking.

Sometimes the NCAA Tournament can overwhelm a team. Others come in and see the great opportunity and play with a sense of looseness, even better than what they had. ... George Mason was never scared off by the NCAA. As a matter of fact, they were inspired by the NCAA.

Some people think George is weird, because he has sideburns behind his ears. I think George is weird, because he has false teeth with braces on them.

Sometimes I want to cry when I see all that's happened in New Orleans. It was really hard to go back home and see the place like that ... but He won't put no more on you than you can handle. He's the greatest gift you'll ever have. ... Anybody who knows George Huff, they know that I love the Lord.

Radio was used powerfully by Josef Goebbels to disseminate Nazi propaganda, and just as powerfully by King George VI to inspire the British people to fight invasion.

Probably, the government does not want to have a discussion on these issues before the visit of (US President) George Bush and the BJP also doesn't want to be seen supporting the government's line on the matter. If this is true, then it is really very unfortunate.

Probably half a dozen people who live in the canyon also have homes in St. George or Mesquite.

People say George Pataki came out of nowhere, that he wasn't a household name,

Oscar winner George Clooney, sexiest man alive 1997, 'Batman,' died today in a freak accident.

Of course we'll win. They're so scared of George they'll do anything to win.

Nora Roberts, Stephen King, Lee Child and George R. R. Martin write wildly different books. Their writing, plotting and styles have little or nothing in common. But they all write books and characters that readers find appealing.

The national leadership of SNAP has never taken this extreme position before and obviously we don't do it lightly. Cardinal George has been secretive, deceptive and irresponsible.

The movies are fine. It's George W. Bush's failed energy policy that is eating away at the family entertainment budget because that extra $70 a month in gas is the money that they would have spent on frivolous things like movies.

The movie I've seen a million times - wait, that's not possible - my favorite movie of all times is 'The Empire Strikes Back,' directed by Irvin Kershner, executive-produced by the great George Lucas and stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, James Earl Jones.

a dictator with something of the earthy American sense of humor of a Mark Twain, a George Ade, a Will Rogers, an Artemus Ward.

Some people frown on the fact that George and I, at our ages, made the decision to adopt. If I were a foster child waiting for parents, I wouldn't care about ages.

Some scholars attribute the decline in nicknaming to the evolutionary process that turned folk heroes into entrepreneurs. The truth is: George Herman Ruth, the namely-est guy ever, exhausted our supply of hyperbole.

One day during filming, George Clooney was wearing his surf shirt and board shorts, and my six-year-old daughter was in the background as an extra, playing in the sand - playing herself. She and Clooney suddenly looked equally Hawaiian, equally related to the place I call home.

Coach Brown called me every week, just to see how I was doing, and never pressured me into making a decision, ... The coaches from George Mason were great and I got a warm reception from them.

Despite three rounds of Iraqi elections, 845 brave young Americans died in Iraq in 2005, only 3 fewer than the 848 lost in 2004. Also 30,000 to 100,000 innocent Iraqis have been killed in the wake of the U.S. invasion. George Bush and Dick Cheney are personally responsible for each of those deaths, because they deliberately lied to Congress and the American people to start this disastrous and never-ending war.

And that worked for quite a while. But it was a shortsighted point of view, ... The Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy.

are deeply shocked that this incident occurred. We send George and Olivia all our love and wish George a speedy recovery.

As for the Beatles: I was very taken by them during their brief career. I was impressed most by the quality of their songwriting, and by George Martin's production. But their importance to me faded fairly quickly after they broke up, as my interests shifted. I think in the end I was much more decisively influenced by some of their influences, most particularly Motown.

Arthur is my middle name; George is my dad's middle name.

As a guitar player, he was exemplary. So many musicians talked about how they wanted the George Harrison sound.

As a guitar player, he was exemplary, ... So many musicians talked about how they wanted the George Harrison sound. The group the Byrds, in America, listened to Harrison and said, 'I want to be like that.' So many guitar players today emulate Harrison's guitar playing. You listen to his playing in the '60s, he doesn't sound out of date at all. It is as contemporary today as it was then.

The bottom line is that if you're an average American, it's pretty hard to get heard by George Bush and get ahead in today's economy. But if you're a big contributor, or a powerful corporate interest, you get heard loud and clear.

The Bush plan is a big mistake...it's irresponsible and risky. ... The stock market is risky and if he sticks to his plan, so is the prospect of a George Bush presidency.

The Bush campaign is trying to define John Kerry now, but for my money, the defining moment was 35 years ago when both of these young men, graduating from Yale from favored families, had a defining moment in their lives, ... John choose to volunteer and serve his country and risk his life doing so. George Bush did not.

The British mountaineer George Mallory was once famously asked why he was trying to climb Mount Everest and his famous reply was 'because it is there.' That's a compelling argument when you are a mountaineer. But for an $850 million rover mission you better have a better reason than that.
