few laps track
The first few laps I was in my own world and was thinking, 'I just wanted to finish. I made a few mistakes, but I think it was just more the track than me making mistakes.

The euro can be a serious problem for the U.S. but there is little the European Central Bank can do; it's already raised rates aggressively, ... The euro could gently descend to 80 cents.

All the senators were there, and Frank Capra was in a box with his wife with the vice president and his wife, and several other senators. They, as the picture started going, became very quiet. After the picture had been going for three quarters of an hour, the film broke. Frank didn't know where the projection room was exactly, and he found himself outside the building, crawling up a ladder.

My dogs have never been good at things like "sit," "stay," or even "come." I think that we've given the tourists a few laughs, especially when the dogs hit the end of their leashes hard enough to drag Gloria down the street.

When that dog got excited he jumped all over Rudd Weatherwax [Lassie's trainer]. Now that's the smartest dog in the world.
