The one thing what makes St. Louis what it is are the fans and the people. Not only do you hear it from hockey players, but you hear it from baseball players - it's a great place to play sports. With very sincere fans ... all they ask for is an honest effort. To give them what you've got. And you can be visible in St. Louis and people are very appreciative. All they do is wish you the best.

The only thing I can say is that since I have been with the SEIU, I have attended their meetings, and they've been very honest with me. I've seen a lot of integrity, and that's kept me involved with this.

The point is not extending deadlines but the honest will to disarm, which he (Saddam) so far has not showed.

The personal attacks on the president and the condemnations of America by Hugo Chavez from Venezuela, I think, are completely unjustified and uncalled for, ... Chavez is a difficult person with whom to deal personally. I know from my own experience.

The person at the top matters most. You can shuffle the deck, but the president is the ace of spades, and he's not going to change.
