I'm a lad of the '60s. I started a magazine to try and end the Vietnam war but it was a number of years before I had the profile the financial resources and the time to do more.

This sympathy is not translated into force against the British government because it is not like the anti- apartheid movement which had a high profile here and Mandela is a more engaging figure than Yasser Arafat.

We've seen the kind of social impact a professional sports team has on a city. A team brings high-profile role models into your community who are healthy and they're great images for the city to gravitate toward especially for kids.

While it is true that we must seek value added industries like food processing plants and call center operations we must do what is necessary to expand and develop our economic profile.

I've talked to some drummers who seem to have a very hard time staying in shape on the road including some drummers touring with high-profile acts that don't have to live on fast food every night.
