I thank my lucky stars he's on defense now. He's a huge part of what we're doing. He's doing a great job.

My principal concern is sanitation. The weather has been very hot today.... Deep-trench latrines need replacing, and we need people in here to help us.

The camps were never built for that sort of number on a long-term basis, ... They are in fact at about double capacity.

What we have done thus far is 'coped.' But I'm not sanguine about the next 48 hours.

We are extremely excited about the prospects.

I'm not saying the problems aren't serious, ... But this is not a humanitarian crisis in the sense that you have in Rwanda and the Balkans and Macedonia.

They feed off his energy. He can physically destroy a play. They feed off that, the guys have confidence in him that he's gonna play hard every time.

We will make mistakes. Some of the things we have spoken about will take time, ... We need to hear from you where we make mistakes, and we will try to improve.

So a new era of research is being opened up.
