We did the 1972 Dolphins a big favor. But why? Two weeks ago, the 2005 Dolphins handed us a home defeat, which might end up costing us a spot in the playoffs.

Coming in as the No. 2 seed in hunt and No. 6 in western, we are in good positions. The format is different from last year so it will be interesting to see how everything pans out. I think both of our teams can finish top five, even though we are more short handed on the western side.

Is the nature of men such, that they can reject miracle, and at the great moments of their life, the moments of their deepest, most agonising spiritual difficulties, cling only to the free verdict of the heart?

But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous.

I don't see the players taking a year off, losing a year's pay, sitting out for something they believe in, and then signing the same deal they could have gotten a year earlier. That's not going to happen.

I've always been impelled to say the truth. When I was 14, in 1954, I already wrote a gay novel, though I'd never read one. I felt that life handed me a great subject, gay life, that had scarcely been examined, and I was impelled to record it in all its strange detail.
