Quebec City, CAN (December 20)...Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins knew going to Quebec, Canada could prove fatal for a history-making victory over Jean Pascal if the fight was close. In fact he knew this from his own experience when, almost 16 years to the date of Saturday night's robbery, he received a similar verdict in Quito, Ecuador on December 17, 1994 when he battled Segundo Mercado to a similar draw decision for his first-ever title challenge.
The outcry from that fight led to an immediate rematch between Hopkins and Mercado, which took place April 29, 1995, less than five months from the original fight. With fight stats from Saturday night clearly in his favor, as well as the majority of media reports and fan outcry backing Hopkins' assessment of the outcome, a rematch between Hopkins and Pascal should be scheduled immediately.
"I knew if they could they take it from me they would and now that I have had the chance to review the fight on tape, I clearly know I won that fight," said Hopkins. "Jean Pascal, his corner and all of the Canadians in the arena and on television know I won the fight too. The crowd was loud in the beginning but the silence was deafening as I dominated Pascal from the middle rounds all the way to the end of the fight. After the last round Pascal went back to his corner with his head and hands down. I am sure he is still hanging his head today to think he let a 45-year old man beat him up the way I did. If I were him, I would want to redeem myself and my reputation immediately after what happened Saturday night."
For Hopkins it was a brillant performance in front of a sold out crowd at the Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec City, Canada as well as for the millions watching on SHOWTIME® in the United States, on pay-per-view in Canada and around the world. Complementing his argument for an immediate rematch are the statistics behind the bout which reflect the pure genius of Hopkins' intense execution of his own game plan and his destruction of Pascal's. Hopkins threw a total of 445 punches, of which he landed 141 power shots, more than 50% of the 270 he threw. Pascal threw 100 less punches than Hopkins with 353 total shots, but landing only 85 of the 196 power shots he threw.
"Again it is crazy to think that a 45-year-old fighter like myself threw and landed more punches than this so-called young gun, the current champion and still I am not given the win," said Hopkins. "Watch the tape. The poor guy was running scared, winded and backing up from round six and on. He seemed to just be holding on for dear life. But he knows what happen in there and he has to live with it too. The film doesn't lie but I bet he doesn't even watch the tape so he, and all his people around him, can tell him something other than the truth. He lost the fight."
Hopkins continued. "The whole thing is bad for boxing, bad for Pascal and especially bad for Canada. Pascal knows he should do the right thing and fight me as soon as tomorrow."
16 years earlier Hopkins got his rematch and convincingly defeated the Ecuadorian to capture his first middleweight world champion.
"Pascal is a hard punching, a young gun you gave it his all Saturday night," said Hopkins. "But he is 18 years younger than me and that speaks for itself. It showed Saturday night too by just getting a draw, which everyone knows is really a loss, against a 45 year old man. If this guy has a backbone and wants to walk around with his any kind of dignity and self-worth, the only thing he can do is fight me again. If that was me I know that is the only way I could really live with myself."
"The Film doesn't lie," but the minds and mouths do. The made-up minds of haters will choke the commonsense, sight and reality out of them. The lying mouths release the tongues that are so full of so many lie bumps that they looks like alligators intoxicated by smelly spit and high on bad breath trying to chop down on gnats and flies. I'm reminded of how some people say that you cannot tell how great a fighter was by looking at him on film. To THAT, I say BULL___! Ole B-Hoppy is spot on. There will be many haters who will never watch the tape of Pascal-Hopkins, because they want to be in self-denial for all times and pass it down for generations immemorial. Holla!
Hey, was the first knockdown not a righteous shot. I have to re-watch, but I think it was a legal blow. ---EMike
Nope! That first knock down was a rabbit punch. Partly B-Hoppy's fault, because he slid inside Pascal left hook and Pascal caught him in the back of the head instead of clinching or letting B-Hop throw a short right hand, which ole B-Hoppy eventually got going and made Pascal become unbraved about check and/or lead hooking. Holla!
When it happened I thought it was a legit knockdown. I need to see it again.
it was not a legal blow that caused the first round knockdown. however, even scoring it as
one bhop still dominated rounds 4 and on. on the belgiums scorecard he scored round 10 a draw, a round in which, if you watch, as i have, 8 times now, 8, 4 sound on, 4 sound off, bhop clearly, clearly won it decisively, even staggering pascal on two easily viewable occassions of 145 and 103 in that round. we need a new scoring system. how about 10 judges instead of 3, and an instant replay with rescoring to get it right. ya, sad
I watched, and re-watched, and re-watched again that first knockdown shot. It looks to me to be a legal shot. It most assuredly is not definitively an illegal punch. And Fe'Roz, SO GLAD you are coming around. Who do we have to drag in here? Who's missing? Did BSug make it in?
MISSING: AFN, Robert Curtis, Real Talk, Salt Lover, Isaiah, Ultimoshogun.....
I hope that the miserable Clone[rs] stay MISSING! Editor Mike, how will that work? Will the cloners and stalkers be able to run wild like they did in the old TSS Universe. This new-looking, awesome Universe doesn't need all that ugliness and meanness IMHO! WE ARE IN THE TIME OF CHANGE! Hey #1PacFan, Boxeanne, AFisher, koolaid, Saul, Rudy, Leroy, Lid, deepwater, Eastar and Solo, c'mon, fly those ships and join us in this new, cutie pugilistic rhetorical Universe. Holla!
I cant see this old fart hopkins fight anymore...He needs to hang up those gloves already...holla back!!!
Isaiah is here.
I've lost all respect for Hopkins the man (not the fighter) after he pursued RJJ even after he got KO'd in the first round. After ducking Chad Dawson for two years and then jumping on the opportunity to fight someone he thinks he could handle, Hopkins deserved to lose to Pascal in this manner. He robbed the sport and now the sport is robbing him back.
chad had a belt and was a champion how did hopkins duck him? bernard did not keep chad from a title shot.
at 43+ does bernard not have the ability to pick and choose?
chad has not been a draw, why would a 43-45 year old ex raining 20 defense middle weight champion jump in the ring if there was not something very worth while?
im a dawson fan, but i think bhop would be a tougher fight for him than u do.
i dont want hopkins to ruin him. he needs to carry the torch for the usa in the coming
you just are not understanding it.
why would he fight dawson when there is no money. no draw equals little money.
pascal has a huge following and along with the crown of being the oldest champion in boxing history.
this is like trying to explain why its important to do homework and get good grades to my
little boy.
you just are not open to it is all
You think there was money in the Ornelas fight? What about the rematch with RJJ? The entire boxing community was against that farce. On the other hand, just about every boxing expert was clamoring for a Hopkins-Dawson showdown. Hopkins avoided Dawson because it was a bad matchup for him, plain and simple. Joshua Clottey is anything but a draw, but Pacquiao still managed to fill 50,000 seats and get 700,000 PPV buys. You see, it is not Dawson who isn't the draw, but Hopkins, which is why the fight was held in Canada because Pascal at least had some fans while Hopkins doesn't have any in the U.S. or anywhere else, for that matter. He was bumming off of Pascal's fans.
Wow! That was coldhearted. Surely ole B-Hoppy has a few fans. I'm reminded of "Jesus Wept." Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Once again, Michiganders are getting an alarming sense of the power special interest groups have in the state. After two petition drives and hundreds of thousands of signatures gathered to allow voters to decide how wildlife is managed, the legislature is poised to vote on the misnamed "Scientific Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act." If it becomes law, this act will allow a handful of bureaucrats, not one of whom is an actual scientist, to decide which animals can be hunted in the state. Sandhill cranes, wolves and other iconic Michigan species will be targeted as well.
The legislature essentially has three choices in regard to the Act. They can pass the Act as it is written by the hunting interests, they can author a new bill themselves or they could simply sit out the vote.
The original controversy surrounded wolves after false reports of wolf attacks on humans. In reality wolves are shy animals that avoid people whenever they can. This piece of legislation is nothing more than a blatant attempt by trophy hunters to set their sights on anything they choose and the voice of every other Michigander be damned! Beyond wolves, what the legislature chooses to do speaks volumes about their attitude toward your own voice in the state's affairs. If they vote "yes," they will be silencing the voices of the hundreds of thousands of signers on two different ballot initiatives. Tell your legislator to vote "No" on the phony and misleading "Scientific Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act."

''March? April?''\nHe helps out at the place I work. He drives downtown all the way from Lancaster to get there.\n\nI flirt with him via IM. We have anal sex twice. Once on my creaky bed surrounded by moldy cups of wine and baby spiders. Once in the back stairwell of the building in pitch black darkness. His hands are rough and calloused. He drives a truck. He had a daughter when he was a teenager and she's almost my age.\n\nWe don't use condoms. He comes inside me and I poop the semen out into the toilet. It's a weird slithery slimey feeling.\n\n[[The End.]]
He leans over and kisses me. His lips are soft and his technique is clumsy. I haven't kissed a boy since I was 14. Except on a dare.\n\n[[We set up a date for the next week.]]
We're in the backseat of his car in a Honda dealership at night and a cop comes and is like hey what's the deal.\n\nHe hops out of the car and announces that he's cheating on his girlfriend and the cop is totally thrown and I'm a fucking disgusting mess and I wonder what the cop thinks of us but the cop just says "you can't do that here" and [[we leave.]]
''December''\nI didn't have sex with Alfred Molina. I met him once when I was 9 though and he was super nice and talked to me for a long time about acting.\n\nAnyways 10 years after I met Alfred Molina I wanted to have sex with a man because I'd never done it so I put an ad on Craigslist.\n\n"Life Sucks. Do You Like Fat Chicks?"\n\nI had jury duty the next morning.\n\nI got a lot of [[replies.]]
The summer I turned 19, I decided I wanted to try having sex with men. This Twine is about that summer and the months that followed. Content is sexually explicit.\n\n[[Cactus]]\n[[Berlin]]\n[[Pearl Jam]]\n[[Alfred Molina]]\n[[Scary Movie 3]]\n[[Beverly Laurel]]\n[[RIP Grandpa]]\n[[Lancaster]]\n\n[[Epilogue]]
''February''\nIt's Valentines Day and I just got waxed and I'm going to see Sparks play at UCLA later. I take the bus to this dude's place in the Hollywood Hills because his roommate is gone.\n\nHe's hungover. I insisted on coming over. I'm on top and it's okay and he's not being crushed and in fact it feels awesome.\n\nI take the Sunset bus to UCLA. The concert is great.\n\n[[The End.]]
It still feels like this.\n\nIt still feels this good.\n\nWe yelled at each other this morning and it's really hard sometimes but it still feels so good. It feels better. I was so scared then because I felt so strongly and was still in so much pain but I'm not as scared now and I'm in less pain. He's helped with that.\n\nYou're probably all like HEY WHAT'S THE DEAL LILZY WHERE'S THE HOT SEX I'M HERE FOR HOT SEX sorry this hot sex right here is none of your beeswax.\n\nSo there.\n\nThe End.
I kept most of my favorite pictures. One guy sent me a picture of him with his kid in a tank.\n\nI meet the one I choose at a gas station near my parents house. I was home for winter break and unbelievably depressed and about to drop out of college.\n\nHe pulls up in a shiny black Cadillac from the 70s. He's wearing a velvet blazer and a polkadot neck scarf. He has a thick black mustache and looks like Alfred Molina in Boogie Nights.\n\nWe smoke American Spirits and go to his place and drink bourbon and talk about Leni Riefenstahl because that's what you do I guess when you have heterosexual sex.\n\nHe has a framed photo of Cole Porter on his piano. [[He has a piano.]]
I leave my shoes and stockings on and watch the shadows of my heels on the wall while we're doing it. I can't feel much. Whatever.\n\nThe sex is okay. I honestly don't know this guy's name. He really likes my blowjobs because I'm amazing at them and just rub my whole face against his junk like I'm a cat because full disclosure having his dick in my mouth is pretty boring.\n\nI don't like him. I don't like talking to him. He's not good looking to me. We have no chemistry. There's some crappy Angelina Jolie action movie he's into watching and I don't want to.\n\nI get a ride in the morning and never see him again.\n\n[[The End.]]
''December''\nI realize I didn't figure out a way to get to the airport to go home for break. He picks me up and drives me. It's the first time we see one another in the daylight. He parks and walks me to security. He kisses me goodbye. I've been kissed before in alleys and bedrooms and hallways and swimming pools and buses and subways and abandoned kitchens and parks and natural history museums but never in an airport before. This is the most public kiss I've ever had in my life. There are people everywhere and I'm kissing this man like it's the most normal thing in the world and no one thinks anything of it but nothing has ever felt so alien to me. This is all rushing through my mind and I hate it and I want him to leave.\n\nI didn't finish my finals. I'm failing. I'm in love with my advisor and I don't realize it then but the relationship is toxic. I'm going home and I have to report to jury duty but at least it will be warm in LA. We kiss goodbye and he leaves and once the coast is clear I go outside and smoke a few cigarettes to get the kiss [[off of my mouth.]]
I try to touch his dick and he pushes my hand away.\n\n"It can be very dangerous!"\n\nI guess he's talking about sex. His accent is funny. He has a good idea for a safe sex thing we can do.\n\nHe's lying on the floor and he wants me to walk on his back.\n\nI giggle and like try to step on but have you ever tried to keep your balance on someone's back? When you're drunk? It's really hard.\n\nI did my best. He seemed happy enough.\n\n[[Cool.]]
<<display 'Start'>>
He smokes too. We go to my room for like cold beer or something. We're sitting on my bed smoking and talking about something. We start making out.\n\nClothes come off. I'm probably being really really really loud because duh I'm super drunk. I keep trying not to think about the fact that the glasses make him look like a scary Nazi doctor from a movie. I don't tell him that I'm Jewish, or maybe I do. He's from Munich.\n\nWhen he puts his arms around me, he's shocked. "Y-you're so...big!"\nOh okay. When he said he was blind, [[he actually meant it.]]
I'm straddling his face and he's eating me out and it feels great and I'm probably being SUPER DUPER loud because moaning is fun and turns me on to do also PS I'm drunk remember.\n\n"Sit on me."\n\n"But I'll hurt you."\n\n"I WANT TO FEEL YOUR WEIGHT!"\n\nSo I sit on his face properly and I admit that it felt way way way way better than me trying to not crush him. I didn't cum or anything but it felt cool and he pulled away gooey faced and blue and choking.\n\n[[We smoked another cigarette.]]
''August''\nI'm so drunk. I'm soooooooo drunk. I'm chainsmoking and dirty and loud and grinning and red and I've had almost a whole bottle of Stoli to myself. I think I'm drinking a beer or something.\n\nNo one in my 'study in Berlin' program wants to talk to me. I'm too cool or too much of a mess. My hair is inky black with a rat tail because I cut it myself and can't see the back.\n\nSomeone introduces me to a German guy who is blonde and in a jumpsuit and has giant glasses that magnify his eyes times a billion. I'm a history major so hey he wants to talk about German history. Cool.\n\n[[Let's talk.]]
Sex With Men
''April''\nAfter talking online we meet for hot cocoa in the fashion district downtown because he seems really nice and we have similar interests and I'm desperate for friends.\n\nWe walk around for a few hours and talk and he's very tall and it's hard to keep up with him but conversation comes so easily. So much more easily than it has in a long time.\n\nI've been in such a dark place. I've been so miserable.\n\nI'm not sure what to do when we say goodbye. I opt to hug him. [[His body is so bony in my arms.]]
We never see each other again. He sends me an email saying I need to stop acting like his girlfriend and that he's been seeing someone this whole time who he really likes.\n\nI'm pissed and send him an email saying fuck off.\nI'm sad and hurt and send him an email apologizing for whatever.\nI'm desperately depressed and miserable and about to drop out of college and I send him an email begging him to be my friend.\n\nI never receive a reply.\n\n[[The End.]]
And he left. I fell asleep or something. He gave me his number but I never called.\n\nI later found out he was a factory worker who always cruised summer programs at the university for chubby American girls. I was both relieved and disappointed to learn that I wasn't special to him in any way.\n\n[[The End.]]
He picks me up from the office building where I work in Century City. We drive to his place, which is someone's garage in Northridge that's been converted into a studio.\n\nHe puts on Neil Young and we make out for a while. He goes down on me and I fake an orgasm.\n\nI give him a blowjob. I have never done it before. "Like A Hurricane" is playing. He ejaculates into my mouth and I swallow it. My stomach is empty and I think I can feel the semen sloshing around inside me.\n\nI ask if he wants to smoke a cigarette and he says yeah after the song is over. [[That song is a billion years long.]]
We're talking and he's REALLY cute and I'm talking so fast and blushing and I'm a little panicky and nervous and he's looking right into my eyes and it's hot and reassuring.\n\nHe's really good at kissing. He's really good at touching me. He goes down on me a bunch and is good at that too. The bed is comfy and there's a MIRROR THAT I CAN LOOK AT MYSELF IN WHILE I'M FUCKING and I'm just having a [[nice time.]]
''March''\nI take a taxi to his place from my grandfather's funeral. I'm so drunk. I'm wearing all black with a garter belt and nylons and heels because I may be in mourning but I'm still a fucking sex bomb.\n\nI ran away from the burial that morning and smoked a cigarette under a palm tree in the cemetary. But now I'm drunk as hell from the reception and at this dude's apartment off of Melrose and his friend is there smoking weed and like HELLO MY GRANDPA JUST DIED I CAME HERE FROM A FUNERAL AND I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU YOU IDIOT NOW GET RID OF YOUR FRIEND AND [[LET'S FUCK.]]
''January''\nHe replies to an ad I put on Craigslist. He's a graphic designer. He's into fat girls and he's way cute. We send funny sexts to each other, but he has a roommate so it takes a while for us to figure out a place to fuck.\n\nWe decide on the Beverly Laurel Motel on Beverly Boulevard next to Swingers.\n\n[[There's a giant mirror next to the bed.]]
He got down on his hands and knees.\n\n"Will you get on my back and ride me?"\n\n"Like a horse?"\n\n"Sure."\n\nSo I'm naked and on his back and giggling as I'm grinding my clit against his spine yelling YEEEHAWWWW but he doesn't like that because he thinks I'm making fun of him so I stop.\n\nWe get back on the bed and he's on his back and pulling me so I'm straddling his face. I can hear the party outside my window.\n\n[[Oh hey, that feels nice.]]
I take the elevator up to the loftspace where I live and work and I'm smoking a cigarette drinking coffee in the kitchen and my coworker asks how my morning was.\n\nI explain to them that I just met a person I really like. But I don't know how I like him yet.\n\nHe invites me over to watch a movie at his apartment. He picks me up and has made me a mix and a copy of a Miranda Sex Garden album. He's much older than me which should feel weird but isn't. I'm really relieved that he doesn't want to have sex with me. I'm sick of people always trying to have sex with me.\n\nAfter the movie we accidentally talk for three hours. [[It feels like thirty minutes.]]
''December''\nWe're talking on Facebook chat. He's visiting his family for Christmas. He's drunk. He wants to have cybersex.\n\nHim: So what should I do?\nMe: Huh?\nHim: That's how cybersex works right? We tell eachother what to do.\nMe: Oh, okay.\n\nThat's not how it works, by the way. \n\nMe: You know Cactus by the Pixies? Put that on and put something in your butt and jerk off but you have to stop the album before Tony's Theme comes on or else you won't get to orgasm.\nHim: Okay cool.\nMe: And you can't orgasm until you call me because I want to hear you do it.\nHim: But I'm at my dad's house.\nMe: Do it quietly.\n\nThis is what happens. He later asks me if I would fuck him with a dildo and I say yeah [[sure.]]
We're flirting online I think and talking about how we both like cuddling and we make a cuddling date and I bring Forbidden Zone on DVD because he's never seen it and we watch it on his couch in his apartment and we don't touch until it's over.\n\nHe turns and hugs me and I hug him and we're hugging and it's ugh it's so NICE it's so fucking nice. And then I feel his lips on my neck really sweetly and nicely and we're kissing on the mouth and he's shy and kind and we go to the bed and just hug and kiss and I'm on cloud fucking nine I'm so happy I feel so good I can't stop smiling and wondering if this is what love feels like.\n\n[[Spoiler: this is what love feels like.]]
Who the fuck has a piano? He's a screenwriter with a piano. Weird. Anyways he like starts grabbing my boobs and I'm like hey dude why don't you kiss me and he's all surprised I wanted to kiss. He asks me about my favorite sex positions and I lie because I don't know.\n\nDoggy style doesn't work because my butt is too big and I don't know how to be on top and his dick keeps falling out so eventually we give up and I go over by his dick and he jerks off and looks at my face and tells me how pretty I am over and over and over again.\n\n"You're so fucking pretty you're so fucking pretty you're so fucking pretty you're so fucking pretty" like yeah I am and the sex sucked but that part was pretty validating and he came on his fingers and drove me home and I never saw him again.\n\n[[The End.]]
He's cheating on his girlfriend with me. They live together. They have cats together.\n\nSomething about him disgusts me. He likes me a lot. He isn't cool. I don't tell anyone because I don't want anyone to know that I'm not exclusively into women.\n\nWe start talking more. Like every day. [[It becomes a reason for me to get out of bed in the morning.]]
''August''\nI'm back from Berlin and we go to a park on the West side. I'm sitting against a tree and he's trying to go down on me and I'm like dude SOMEONE COULD WALK BY this is a TERRIBLE IDEA so we park near my parents' house and make out and I'm trying to give him a hand job but he says I'm doing it wrong. Then I make a joke and he loses his boner because I'm funny, which is a pretty bad sign now that I think about it. Then I go home and [[go back to college in Massachusetts.]]
He ejaculates onto my stomach and wipes it off with a warm towel because he is some sort of wizard. We eat Doritos and watch Mythbusters and then fuck a few more times.\n\nHe goes to sleep and I go downstairs for a milkshake. The guy I dated for a month when I was 14 is there. I say hey. I stink of sex.\n\n[[I walk the three miles home in a great mood.]]
''September''\nI tell my roommate about him. We're Facebook friends and we talk on the phone sometimes. \n\nI refresh Facebook obsessively to see if he's online. We talk about Suspiria which is my new favorite movie. I think about him a lot. It starts to get unhealthy.\n\nHe says he wants to see me when I'm back for [[winter break.]]
We talk on the phone when I'm home. I want him to leave me alone. I tell him about the Craigslist sex I'm having and that I'm not being safe and he's jealous and worried about me and sad and hurt.\n\nI tell him I don't care about him and that I was using him. He doesn't want to accept that. He wants me to take care of myself. I tell him he's not my boyfriend he's not my dad he's not anything. I want to hurt him and I do. I tell him to stop calling me and he finally does.\n\nHe messages me six months later to tell me he's doing well and hopes I am too. He's in a new relationship and he's getting married.\n\nI'm happy for him, but I don't respond.\n\n[[The End.]]
''June''\nI'm at the Aero in Santa Monica smoking a cigarette. John Carpenter is a few feet away from me signing autographs. A cute chubby dude who looks a little like a young Brian Wilson starts talking to me.\n\nWe sit together for Escape From LA and get coffee afterwards. We're smoking and talking and laughing and it's really really nice.\n\nHe drives me home.\n\n"Would it be okay if I kissed you?"\n\n[[Yes.]]
He makes up the word "loke" which is supposed to be in between love and like. He lokes me. He starts calling me his girlfriend. I say I feel the same way. I don't. I just don't want the attention to end.\n\nWe're listening to the radio in his car and that Pearl Jam song comes on that's like "She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man" and I want him to change it and say I hate Pearl Jam and he makes fun of me for being young and won't change it and he's singing along and I feel like the worst person because he's a really nice guy and he likes me a lot and I'm totally using him and I'm the worst.\n\n[[Ugh.]]
''December''\nI meet a dude on Craigslist. He's super skinny and is a law student and lives right near my parents outside of Beverly Hills behind a lawn furniture store on Pico. So I walk over there and he's watching Scary Movie 3 and the air smells like weed and we have missionary sex for what seems like a thousand years and it's the worst and I leave and it was so boring and he kept trying to meet me again.\n\nI have a bruise on the inside of my thigh from his dumb hipbone for like two weeks.\n\n[[The End.]]
''November''\nI post an ad on Western Massachusetts Craigslist and he replies. He's a chubby comic book geek aspiring comedian.\n\nHe has a gap in his teeth and we make out in his car. He's a lawyer in his 30s. He feels me up under thousands of layers of clothing because it's Massachusetts and it's fucking freezing and I'm encrusted with filth because I'm monstrously depressed.\n\n[[We start talking more.]]

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 16 April 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580416-TC-JAC-01; CL 33: 204-206
Chelsea, friday (15?) [16] April 1858
My dear Brother,
I have had both your Notes; whh were very welcome to me: I will write a word today to keep your anxieties in check. Alas, I ought to have written to Jean also long since; and to I know not how many besides! But everything is agt my writing; everything down even to the mechanical materials I have. Nothing will ever reconcile me to those miserable iron-pens, plaster-lime kinds of paper, and other modern improvements; tho' I have been driven into them in a kind of self-defence. Often, in writing that beautiful Book now on hand, I remind myself of the old Spaniard who had to do his 'on leather with a dagger';1—and in fact I detest writing more and more. And expect fairly to end it, if I can ever finish this that is now on hand. Let all friends be soft with me; for I declare myself hard bested at the present season.2
Our weather has suddenly got warm, too warm: I am absolutely suffering from heat in my garret here; 3 days ago in thicker clothing there was difficulty in subduing the cold. Jane is now out: poor little soul, she wd have been joyful & on the road to well again, had it not been for that devil's-brood of House-servants! Anne went away, a fortnight ago, as I told you; on the whole, no good farther to be had of Anne,—better that she shd go. Then came the usual muster and choice for poor Missus;—great fash, fidget; and at last a simple-looking Scotch lass preferred, who did not know her work, but whose physiognomy pleased hugely in the proper quarter. Much new fash in consequence for the two weeks gone; patient treating of the simpleton, animated by hope, of honesty, veracity, affectionate mind &c &c: the whole of which fell again on poor Jane, for I had nothing to do in it except hold my peace; and rejoice in such prospect of all the virtues in a simple form. Night before last, the poor Dame did not sleep, seemed sad too: on pressing into her, I found the Simpleton of Virtues had broken into bottomless lying, 'drinking of cream on the road upstairs' &c, &c, and that in short it was hopeless! And while we yet spoke of it, a poor charwoman3 (used to the house) knocked at the room-door, and entered with sudden news That our simpleton was off, bag and baggage (plus a sovereign &c that had just been advanced her); gone (10 p.m.), and had left the pass-key with said charwoman!— My poor little sick Partner, I declare it is heartbreaking for her sake. Disgusting otherwise to a high degree; and dirtier for the mind than even brushing of boots oneself wd be for the body. But our Dame is not to be beaten quite; has already improvised a new arranget4 (unhappily no sleep yet almost); and we must help her all we can surely in the carrying of it thro'.— I am on my last Chapter,—really on my last legs too, as it were, and quite worn down. Printers are again hastening: "end of May" is my steady goal. I will go somewhither, and have a long rest!
Yours ever T. Carlyle
I send an Autograph duly: there is unhappily no Photh here or procurable. Dixon's Daughter writes, seemingly not a very wise woman.5
I hope those Quakers6 may do something for J. An:7 good wishes & regards to Henry Watt, on his new Voyage. Adieu dear Brother.

Jesus says Vote … for Bush! Or, rather, the guy who played Him on TV says so. That's right:Passion of the Christ Jesus, Jim Caviezel, has been enlisted by Redeem the Vote to tell Christians that Bush "shares their opposition to abortion, judicial activism and homosexual 'marriage.'" Millions of emails repeating Caviezel's near-divine support were sent out using mailing lists obtained from the marketing firms that promoted The Passion.
Surveys say: 40% of U.S. scientists believe in God. Unfortunately, that's about all that can be taken from Stefan Lovgren's feel-good report in National Geographic News, "Evolution and Religion can Coexist." In Lovgren's attempt to reconcile science and God, more than a little of each is lost to make the two — couples' therapy style — realize how they need one another. Science becomes about "how" questions and "truth"; religion becomes about "why" questions and "ethics." Science wants a beer after work; religion wants to be asked about her day…How to make this marriage work? Well, in part by representing religion as a non-denominational self-help book, quoting "deists" and believers who hold that the Bible is allegory, and ignoring tricky types like Creationists who believe they have both the why and the how.
Three Sikh boys in Paris have gone to court after being barred from school for wearing turbans, thereby violating France's recent ban on conspicuous religious clothing.
The Bush-Cheney campaign has funded the publishing of five full-page ads containing "AnOpen Letter from Fellow Catholics to John Kerry." The ad challenges the sincerity of Kerry's faith in light of his stance on abortion rights, and is signed by 38 prominent Catholics, including Sen. Rick Santorum, American Catholic Council President Connie Marshner and former Major League Baseball Commissioner, Bowie Kuhn. On another front of the attack on Kerry's Godliness, the efforts of a conservative canon lawyer to have Kerry excommunicated as a heretic for his support of abortion rights will likely be thwarted as an unnamed Vatican official told the official Vatican news service that support for abortion rights itself was not grounds for automatic excommunication.
Parents, grandparents and teachers in Desert Sands, California, protested to the local school board about "inappropriate religious activities" that had been taking place on district school campuses. Among their complaints were the presence of Christian posters hanging on school walls, and a Southwest Community Church youth minister who distributed pictures of church activities when he worked at the school as a lunchtime volunteer. Students who attend Southwest Church have also distributed its literature on school grounds and the parents claim that an atmosphere of "'coercive proselytizing'" has made their children feel unwelcome for not participating.

Background: Subcutaneous allergen-specific immunotherapy frequently causes allergic side effects and requires 30 to 80 injections over 3 to 5 years.
Objective: We sought to improve immunotherapy by using intralymphatic allergen administration (intralymphatic immunotherapy [ILIT]) and by targeting allergen to the MHC class II pathway.
Methods: Recombinant major cat dander allergen Fel d 1 was fused to a translocation sequence (TAT) and to part of the human invariant chain, generating a modular antigen transporter (MAT) vaccine (MAT–Fel d 1). In a randomized double-blind trial ILIT with MAT–Fel d 1 in alum was compared with ILIT with placebo (saline in alum) in allergic patients (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00718679).
Results: ILIT with MAT–Fel d 1 elicited no adverse events. After 3 placebo injections within 2 months, nasal tolerance increased less than 3-fold, whereas 3 intralymphatic injections with MAT–Fel d 1 increased nasal tolerance 74-fold (P < .001 vs placebo). ILIT with MAT–Fel d 1 stimulated regulatory T-cell responses (P = .026 vs placebo) and increased cat dander–specific IgG4 levels by 5.66-fold (P = .003). The IgG4 response positively correlated with IL-10 production (P < .001).
Conclusion: In a first-in-human clinical study ILIT with MAT–Fel d 1 was safe and induced allergen tolerance after 3 injections.

There is no city in the world that is more focused on women's beauty than the city of Paris, France. Regardless of whether it is hair styles, fashion, or beauty the city of Paris is hard to beat. In 30 years of travels in and out of Paris by your customer service reporter, the beauty of Paris, France is hard to match. Washington is a city of efficiency and service; but Paris leads the world in women's fashion and beauty hands down.
It is with this concern that L'Oréal Paris and the Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA) has launched It's THAT Worth It™ Campaign to Fight Melanoma and Encourage Sun Protection for women of all colors.
Celebrity Spokespeople Eva Longoria, Aimée Mullins, Lea Michele, Skin Cancer Survivor Diane Keaton and L'Oréal Paris Executive Danielle Macaluso invite all women to Join the Thunderclap on May 20th and lend their social voice to stop Melanoma.
L'Oréal Paris, a leading global beauty brand, and the Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA), the leading private funder of melanoma research, announced today the launch of It's THAT Worth It™, a public health call-to-action that urges women of all skin tones to prevent melanoma by using sunscreen and to help save lives by supporting cutting-edge melanoma research for a cure. As part of the three-year partnership, L'Oréal Paris is donating $750,000 to MRA to help find a cure through the funding of the new L'Oréal Paris-MRA Team Science Award, led by internationally renowned cancer researcher Meenhard Herlyn, D.V.M., D.Sc., The Wistar Institute, Philadelphia, Pa. The donation will fund research exploring the role of 16 variant genes as co-drivers in melanoma susceptibility, development and progression.
"The Melanoma Research Alliance is an incredible organization that has made significant strides in funding melanoma research and advancing treatment. We are very proud to partner with MRA to help educate people on the importance of using sunscreen as the first line of defense against melanoma and to drive awareness around this disease. Through this collaboration, our hope is to drastically reduce the growing incidence of melanoma in this country, especially among young women, and to help every person realize that wearing sunscreen protects their beauty and their life because we are all worth it," said Karen T. Fondu, President of L'Oréal Paris.
Celebrity broadcast and print PSAs are the first phase in a series of initiatives designed to rally the public to combat melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer and one of the most common cancers in women under 40. The PSAs will drive the public to ItsTHATworthit.org to join Thunderclap, a worldwide crowd sourcing tool that amplifies a collective message. By signing up for the It's THAT Worth It Thunderclap from now through May 20th at 5:00PM EDT, people can lend their reach to the cause, and send a synchronized message through social media, telling the world that they are committed to stopping melanoma through prevention and research. As a thank you, L'Oréal Paris will make a donation to MRA of $1 for each supporter who signs up for the Thunderclap and $1 for each L'Oréal Paris Advanced Suncare product sold in the U.S. -- up to $250,000 in 2014.
"L'Oréal Paris' commitment to supporting groundbreaking research and rallying the public to stop melanoma from taking more lives is both incredibly inspiring and unprecedented," said Debra Black, MRA founder and melanoma survivor.

Sure, we kinda like the way our hands smell after chopping up a bunch of rosemary or basil. But we also like time savers, and we'll forgo the stained finger look for the convenience of chopping twice as many herbs in half the time. Just toss your herbs into the Microplane Herb Mill ($20) and grind for uniformly chopped, unbruised herbs. We foresee a lot more homemade salsa in our futures!

In a minor but interesting coincidence, I saw a preview screening of "Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter" today, when the TV version of "Fargo" begins on FX (not part of my basic cable, alas).
"Kumiko," to be shown at the S.F. International Film Festival (http://www.sffs.org/festival-home/attend/film-guide/kumiko-the-treasure-...) is David Zellner's 2014 film, seen in the U.S. so far only at festivals.
"Babel" and "Pacific Rim" costar Rinko Kikuchi gives a memorable performance as a lonely social misfit Tokyo office worker, more than painfully shy - going from Asperger's to isolation to obsession.
The basic plot of this gripping, marvelously unpredictable, and moving film is Kumiko's increasingly self-destructive fixation on the Coen Brothers' 1996 "Fargo" and the suitcase of cash buried in the snow by Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi).
She leaves a harrowing job and bothersome mother, even her adorable pet bunny behind, and travels to Fargo to find the treasure. The second half of the film is a bizarre, quirky road trip that will stay with the viewer for a long time. Both in Japan and in Minnesota, Kumiko's self-imposed isolation lifts the film above its comic-weird baseline into an evocative statement on the human condition.
Here are some facts about the story, which should have no bearing on experiencing the film; knowing this background is in no way a spoiler, may even make viewing more meaningful.
One justification of Kumiko's belief in the existence of the treasure is that "Fargo" opens with the statement that the film is based on true events. It took a long time and extensive research to establish that there have been no such events, and it's all fiction.
Next to that false claim is another twist of the facts: the Kumiko character is based on a real-life story about a 28-year-old Japanese woman, Takako Konishi, found in a woodland on a road between Fargo and Brainerd in 2001. A subsequent BBC Channel 4 documentary by Paul Berczeller traced Konishi's presence to her obsession with the treasure in "Fargo."
Twist No. 3: In 2003, Berczeller wrote an extensive article in "The Guardian" (http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2003/jun/06/artsfeatures1), following through every step of the story - and concluding that the "Fargo" obsession was a well-meaning collective fabrication.
I saw "Kumiko" in the morning and put together the background information by night, but nothing about the great impact of the affecting film has changed, nor did my appreciation for one of the rare films you can see never knowing what happens the next minute... or why.

"Oh yeah, oh yeah," Embree said Monday afternoon. "Whether it's effort in finishing, whether it's running to the ball on defense, whether it's staying up off the ground, knowing when it's your opportunity to make the play or not - they understand that now . . . . A lot of little things that we were coaching last year we don't have to coach this year."
The Buffs were on the field twice Monday, the first time for a brief morning walk-through, the second for a fully scripted afternoon practice in shorts and helmets that lasted the better part of two hours.
"I thought it went well - not a lot of mental mistakes, more technical stuff, so that was good," Embree said. "It shows they've been working hard all summer and been in their playbooks . . . that was good to see. We moved faster and that was good to see, too."
Added senior tight end Nick Kasa: "We're just all a bigger family now. We know what to expect. We know they (the coaches) are going to be hard on us but it's not like they're being mean to us; they just expect us to be better."
The Buffs' intense summer work, which included player-run practices in addition to conditioning, was evident on Monday, said senior safety Ray Polk: "We were able to see all the work we put in over the summer pay off. It was a nice platform for all of us to push off of."
Embree's 2012 recruiting class was among CU's largest in recent years, and Kasa immediately noticed the difference at his position. Three freshmen - Vincent Hobbs, Austin Ray and Sean Irwin - have joined the competition and junior DaVaughn Thornton has moved back to the position after a stint at receiver.
Kasa called the influx of newcomers "a little confusing because there's a lot more young guys that aren't really attuned yet to the practice schedule, our plays and things like that. They're still working in but that makes it a lot better for us because we've got seven tight ends now instead of three, like we had in the spring."
After switching to the position last season from defense and spending spring drills trying to hone his receiving skills, Kasa termed the first day of August camp "really good for me . . . there were no dropped balls. I enjoyed it a lot. It was good to just play some football again, but I'd rather put the pads on."
Kasa said he felt "so much more comfortable" at tight end than he did during spring work. "I started feeling a little more comfortable then, but just the whole summer doing all stuff, doing research and studying, I'm really more comfortable with the offense."
QB WATCH: Embree indicated before and at the recent Pac-12 Conference media day that his quarterback duel would involve three players - sophomores Connor Wood and Nick Hirschman and junior transfer Jordan Webb.
He reiterated that on Monday afternoon and said freshman Shane Dillon is a probable redshirt. Dillon underwent right shoulder surgery over the winter and, according to Embree, "is working his way back." Dillon, said Embree, has been cleared to practice, "but being cleared and throwing bombs 30 times is a little different."
Of the three-way, first-day competition at the position, Embree said the QBs "all had their moments, so I guess this competition is going to have to go at least two days now."
The trio will be evaluated on overall command of the offense and the huddle, how efficiently each gets plays in, then sends the offense to the line of scrimmage.
An accurate evaluation, said Embree, must wait until the team gets in pads and the QBs face a genuine pass rush: "It just gives you a sense of what might happen . . . we had a player here - (safety/linebacker) Brian Iwuh - who was awful in shorts. But as soon as those pads got on, the rest is history. You always have to temper your optimism a little bit."
Still, Embree said he expects a heated QB battle: "Oh, yeah . . . there's no doubt. They all flashed and had their moments - good and bad. I'm excited to see it; it's going to be a competitive battle."
When might it be decided?
"It'll probably happen after camp unless it just clearly separates itself," Embree said. "The thing for me is seeing (what happens) once we get going in pads, once we get into two-a-days and get a little tired, seeing how they react and seeing if it gets down to two how quickly that happens and if it does happen . . . I'd like to have it done sooner than later, that's for sure. But I still want it to be done right."
BUFF BITS: At the end of Monday afternoon's practice, Embree called junior fullback Alex Wood (Steamboat Springs), junior tailback Josh Ford (Denver) and junior tight end Scott Fernandez (Broomfield) to come and stand beside him before their huddled teammates. To a rousing ovation, Embree announced that the three walk-ons were being put on scholarship immediately. "They've all been in the program for two years, they've handled their business on and off the field," Embree said. He then added with a laugh, "But you know me; screw up tomorrow and you're back to the end of the line." . . . . If the Buffs need a daily reminder of their 2012 goal to reach the postseason, it comes in this form: Day 1 saw them "breakdown" at the conclusion of practice with their usual "gimme a Black, gimme a Gold . . ." But they capped it with "1-2-3 BOWL GAME." Bet on that happening from now on . . . . The only minor first-day injury Embree reported was suffered by freshman receiver Jeffery Thomas (leg). Embree said senior linebacker Doug Rippy (knee) "didn't do team stuff" while junior receiver Paul Richardson (knee) did little other than light running . . . . Embree's post-practice media conference was interrupted by a campus emergency warning test siren that nearly made a Q&A session impossible. Embree delayed his answers on a couple of occasions while the siren blared . . . . CU's defensive line numbers are significantly up with the addition of nine freshmen. Embree said it was nice to see the new bodies, noting "as long as they're not Kanavis (McGhee) and 'Tui' (Mike Tuiasosopo)." Those two are assistant D-line coaches. Embree said there's now "some stoutness" in the defensive line. "I'm excited to see those (new) guys in pads." . . . . Another freshman who already has Embree's attention is safety Marques Mosley. He's been taken under Polk's wing, or Embree put it, "He's in Polk's hip pocket. That's good, having someone like Ray, with his work habits, showing a young kid how to do it. Marques has been working at safety . . . he's got a good chance. He's got great hips and he's into it, really into it. He's really smart, so I'm excited. I like all those guys; it's a little different from last year, no doubt." . . . The Buffs are on the field Tuesday morning for another brief walk-through before returning for afternoon drills set to begin at 4:45 p.m. The first day in full pads is Friday, with media day set for Saturday. All practices are closed to the media and public.

The Saudi-Moroccan joint committee for bilateral cooperation issued a statement in Riyadh today at the end of its current session co-chaired by Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Saud Al-Faisal and his Moroccan counterpart Mohammad bin Isa. The statement said that the two sides had agreed to adhere to the executive program of the Arab trade zone, and to hold intensive meetings for businessmen of both countries in January 2003 in order to explore investment opportunities and discuss mechanisms for resolving problems.
The statement praised the ongoing efforts of the Saudi Development Fund (SDF); stressed the importance of cooperation in scientific matters, particularly those concerning water and energy; urged their respective tourism commissions to reach an agreement next year on cooperation in this area; and called for activation of mechanisms for joint media cooperation, welcoming in this respect the visit to Saudi Arabia of a Moroccan TV crew to study the possibility of producing joint TV programs. Agreement was also reached on cooperation in structural planning, environmental protection, civil defense and the mutual recognition of driving licenses.
Reiterating strong support for the Palestinian people and their legitimate leadership, the statement declared the Arab Peace Initiative to be the basis for a peace treaty and expressed concern over the U.S. Congress measure naming Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, a move that violates UN Security Council resolutions. As for Iraq, the two sides emphasized that Iraq's unconditional approval for the return of the international inspectors paves the way for avoiding confrontation and war.

College Hockey:Croxton, Rensselaer Break Through To Win Vs. SLU
TROY, N.Y. — Rensselaer was without a goal in 87:44 and down 1-0 to the St. Lawrence Saints before freshman Kevin Croxton came to the rescue for the Engineers Saturday night. Croxton scored twice in the third period to give the Engineers a 2-1 win over the Saints and a weekend split in ECAC play.
On the first goal, Croxton was fed by Matt McNeely on a long up-ice pass and came across the blue line with a Saint draped all over him. Croxton managed to get a backhanded shot up and over the shoulder of Kevin Ackley to tie the game.
The tie was broken 4:16 later as Saint Ryan Glenn tried a pass from behind his goal line that was intercepted by Keith McWilliams. McWilliams came in and put the puck across the crease to Croxton, who managed to get his stick on the puck and put it behind Ackley.
"It was nice to get the first one out of the way at least," said Croxton. "McNeely made a great play and he flipped it up. I got a lucky bounce and flipped it up by going backhand.
"McWilliams just had a great play. He just took it wide and shoveled it to me and I was there at the right time."
"That was a great team win; we played well defensively and we realize that it will be scoring by committee and guys stepping up," said Engineer coach Dan Fridgen. "They showed a lot of character coming back after a disappointing loss last night and got the split at home, which I thought was real key."
"You like to steal a win on the road like that, but we had two tough losses by one goal. I told the guys that most of the games are going to be like that," said Saint coach Joe Marsh. "But they got the extra breaks when they needed them.
"Our big thing is to stop that drastic turnover and we had one tonight. The guys are playing hard, but mistakes happen."
The Saints took the lead in the first period when Jim Lorentz scored on the power play by roofing a puck over Nathan Marsters. From there the teams played up-and-down hockey before the Engineers broke through in the third.
"It was the best game we played this year," said Marsh. "I was real pleased with our effort there; we had some great chances and both goalies played extremely well. The big thing is that we were able to come out and skate and do some of the things we did against a good team.
"That's the way the games are in this league. It doesn't take that much — sometimes it's just a fine line between losing one and winning one, and we saw that tonight."
"I thought we played real hard last night and tonight," said Fridgen. "At times we were playing not as smart as we like, but I just thinking between the second and third period that we had a chat in there and it would have been sad to come away with two losses on the weekend and only allow three goals.
"I thought we did a great job defensively, Nathan played well when they got the shots through and we had a freshman step for us in the third period when we needed it. That's what we're all about this year."
The Engineers (5-5-0, 1-1-0 ECAC) will travel to Yale and Princeton next weekend while the Saints (2-6-1, 1-2-0 ECAC) will host Harvard and Brown.

Boxing News -- 24 hours/day - Reload often! Continuously updated all
day, every day!
King steps in for missing N.Y. Gov
Story & photos by David Greene
Boxing promoter Don King stepped up to the plate at the last minute, delivering the keynote address at a luncheon in honor of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., when New York Governor David Paterson disappeared from public view and the media, in the days following the Caroline Kennedy fiasco.
Nearly 1,000 people attended the annual luncheon. The event's organizer, Councilman Larry Seabrook, honored a half dozen, including Senator Charles Schumer, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and King, during the event held on Dreiser Loop in Co op City, on Saturday, January 24.
Senator Schumer told the crowd that newly-elected President Barak Obama was in office because of all those, "who lived lives of dignity and strength, despite the evil oppression of slavery, and Jim Crow and discrimination and bigotry that was thrown at them."
Schumer, who would read several paragraphs of King's "Letter From Birmingham Jail", added, "Dr. King was one of the greatest men in American history. In fact, look at this, he's the only man for whom a National holiday is named, the only single person."
Schumer asked the crowd, "You know why? He held up a mirror to America, he said, 'America, look at your self, aren't you ashamed of what you're doing?'"
Predicting the honeymoon with President Obama may soon be over, Council Speaker Quinn told the crowd, "The work just began on Tuesday. What we need to do now is be there to support the President, as he runs into opposition, which we know he will."
Proving that just not any Black man running for President would capture the love of the American public, New York City Controller Bill Thompson asked the crowd, "Think and ask yourself, if we were swearing in Clarence Thomas as the President of the United States, would you have been excited by it?" Many in the crowd responded, "No."
Recalling the incident of a family member, who was spit on for looking at a white man, New York 1 reporter Dean Memenger urged those in attendance, "A lot of our kids don't know these stories. Don't let the T. V. tell those stories. You tell them the stories so they understand their history."
King, a major supporter of the National Council for Negro Women and the NAACP, wore his customary American-flag-theme denim jacket, but has since added a tie with the faces of Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
Delivering the keynote address, King began, "I want to say only in America can a Don King happen, only in America can a Barak Obama happen."
King stated, "It's a long way we have come and a long way that we have to go, let us reflect. When George Washington united the thirteen colonies, and led them to beat the Red Coats, he said he wanted freedom for the colonies."
King continued, "What you've got to understand is in 1787, when they were trying to ratify the Constitution of the United States, a young man named Robert Sherman... he would not let them ratify the Constitution," leading to the Connecticut Compromise.
King went on, "The Connecticut Compromise was that Black people (were considered) 3/5 human beings. Now why do I mention that on this glorious week... because we have a 3/5 human being in the White House. King then urged elected officials to, "delete it, amend it or eradicate it," from the Constitution.
"The most important thing to understand," King continued, "Remember Iowa? 95.6% white. They set the tone, just as the Alamo... set the tone for Texas in 1835."
King shared a bizarre moment with City Councilman John C. Liu, in the first row of the packed hall, when a young color guard cadet tilted his weapon in the direction of the flair-haired promoter. King, who looked a lot like his old friend George W. Bush ducking the famous shoe-toss, quickly got out of harm's way. A minute later when the danger was over, King laughed off the incident.
At least one elderly man reported a shortness of breath before the end of King's speech and was rushed to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
According to one source at Councilman Seabrook's office, Paterson was originally scheduled to deliver the keynote address, but had backed out on the previous Friday, when King agreed to step in.
Olinville resident Effius Matthews was asked if she was disappointed that Governor Paterson skipped the event, Matthews replied, "No, and it's not nice that I say this, but the debacle with Carolyn Kennedy, regardless of what her personal problems were, the minute she withdrew from the race, should not have been exposed.":
Matthews said of King, "I was surprised. I didn't know he was so smart. All I've seen of him is promoting fights. I didn't know that he had such a message, and is so well informed of life in general. I was very impressed with him.
