Let's say music is needed for only 43 seconds of film. you have to score it so it is an entity, so it won't bother anyone when it ends so quickly. or if a song runs 2 minutes and 45 seconds, but the titles run a minute longer, you have to arrange that song so it doesn't get repetitious.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

Success is how you collect your minutes. you spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. if you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? it doesn't equate... life is made of small pleasures. good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. a moment of touching a friend. happiness is made of those tiny successes. the big ones come too infrequently. if you don't have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don't mean anything.

Music is my life. music runs through my veins. music inspires me. music is a part of me. music is all around us. music soothes me. music gives me hope when i lose faith. music comforts me. music is my refuge.

It bothers me that the average fan, the average sportswriter for that matter, pays so much attention to what's in a box score. a box score does not properly represent the most important thing - team play. it shows some guy scoring 27 points, but it doesn't show that my 27-point man let his guy score 30.

Would a minute have mattered? no, probably not, although his young son appeared to have a very accurate internal clock. possibly even 2 minutes would be okay. three minutes, even. you could go to five minutes, perhaps. but that was just it. if you could go for five minutes, then you'd go to ten, then half an hour, a couple of hours...and not see your son all evening. so that was that. six o'clock, prompt. every day. read to young sam. no excuses. he'd promised himself that. no excuses. no excuses at all. once you had a good excuse, you opened the door to bad excuses.

We can never totally return to the indefensible pre-1967 borders, ... we simply cannot afford to make israel 14.48 km (9 miles) wide again at its center. we can't allow the palestinians to be a couple of [miles] from [tel aviv's] ben-gurion airport in the age of shoulder-fire missiles with the capacity to shoot down jumbo jets. but that doesn't mean we must remain in every corner of the west bank or in gaza, where fewer than 10,000 jews, living next to 1.3 million palestinians, have been protected by twice as many soldiers.
