Bit Quotes

Almost Quotes
Virginia, being a red state, has seen moderate candidates like Mark Warner - like Harris Miller sort of appears to be, in the early stages - see some success.

Beam Quotes
The simplistic concept (of lasers) probably derived from that old James Bond movie of a laser driving down at Sean Connery. It was a big-old device with a circular beam coming down. Conceptually, that's kind of correct, but all lasers today with those big beams come from gas or material lasers,

This is great exposure for James and for our institution. It was no secret that James would be on this list since he was selected in the professional draft after last year.

He was cold and distant except with those closest to him, but when, on his mother's death, he discovered a bundle of letters that his father had written to her before they were married, he spent the whole afternoon reading them 'with as little compunction as a doctor or a lawyer . . . puts questions.'
