    —Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)

    “The salary cap ... will be accepted about the time the 13 original states restore the monarchy.”
    —Tom Reich, U.S. baseball agent. New York Times, p. 16B (August 11, 1994)

    “By his mere quiet power, on the minds of the now contestants, He could have either saved or destroyed the Union without a human contest. Yet the contest began. And having begun He could give the final victory to either side any day. Yet the contest proceeds.”
