A series of rumors about my attitude as well as derogatory remarks about myself and my family showed me that the personal resentment of the Detroit general manager toward me would make it impossible for me to continue playing hockey in Detroit.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

Abstract Expressionism - the first American movement to have a worldwide influence - was remarkably short-lived: It heated up after World War II and was all but done for by 1960 (although visit any art school today and you'll find a would-be Willem de Kooning).

I went into the business for the money and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark I can't help it. It's the truth.

As regards parents I should like to see them as highly educated as possible and I do not restrict this remark to fathers alone.
