...Even the mild-mannered Fitzsimmons, though, has been touched by some of the McCurdy blarney. Reflecting on the 23-day training period, Fitzsimmons quipped, "We knew that if we got through the camp we'd be either dead or the IC4A champs...
...television sets in use in the U.S. are tuned to them. This kind of audience share is usually achieved only by special events like the World Series. It means that people in 23 million households choose to get their weekly fix of girl watching, double-entendre sex jokes and mild violence here.

In influential quarters in Israel, if such a promise of recognition is made, people will be more willing to talk about a solution to the Palestinian problem...
