These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”

I just assumed everyone else would think it was a swell idea.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 85 (June 17, 1991)
“It was a Maine lobster town—
each morning boatloads of hands
pushed off for granite
quarries on the islands.”
