Bob Bandoni

MONUMENT, n. A structure intended to commemorate something which either needs no commemoration or cannot be commemorated. The bones of Agammemnon are a show, And ruined is his royal monument, but Agammemnon's fame suffers no diminution in consequence.

Why would they research something that will cause them to lose money if it's found to be unsafe?

This is still unknown territory. The question is how much of the appeal of a singer like this is because she's underground. It's a classic trade-off in the music industry.

Inspector Dennis Maffei

You might call him a promiscuous sitter, ... He would sit for just about any artist in the last 10 years of his life. He sat for ... George Caleb Bingham, who was virtually an unknown artist.

H. P. Lovecraft

It's always the thrill of the unknown. Everybody dives in the Grand Cayman or Bermuda. I don't dive in those places anymore, after 50 years the thrill just isn't there.

It's a journey into the unknown, ... but we will be doing our utmost to get as much information on them as possible. We are going to be underdogs and the fact they won their group last season suggests they are a very good team. We have to be more than wary of them and we will prepare very thoroughly.

Tony Mowbray
