Came across the following John Madden quotes:
"They'll score if they can just get into the endzone."
"If you see a defense team with dirt and mud on their backs they've had a bad day."
"When your arm gets hit, the ball is not going to go where you want it to."
"The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break."
"Hey, the offensive linemen are the biggest guys on the field, they're bigger than everybody else, and that's what makes them the biggest guys on the field."
But we like Madden nontheless.

Edie Sedgwick: An American Girl
The name of the girl in the picture is Edie Sedgwick. She died around 1971 from mixing prescription drugs and alcohol. She was 29. Edie was Andy Warhol's first "It" girl, and is the subject of a movie that was recently released and soon to be available in DVD called "Factory Girl". We read a very good book entitled "Edie: An American Girl". Highly recommended reading. It provides a vivid first hand view into the 1960s art scene in New York, the decandence and depravity of the old-money WASP culture, and a lesson on how easily people who have everything going for them - looks, money, talent, fame - can make a complete mess of their lives and of the people around them.
