We had a booming stock market in 1929 and then went into the world's greatest depression. We have a booming stock market in 1999. Will the bubble somehow burst and then we enter depression? Well some things are not different.

My greatest fear: repetition.

My greatest fear is disappointing the reader so each book has to be better than the one before.

My greatest desire is that the hope that has overcome fear in my country will help vanquish it around the world.

I don't want to wake up and be bored. That's probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team and certainly one that I've been on for a long time and had success with? I don't plan on giving it up any time soon.
