Quin, some years ago, Pete Sampras was scheduled to meet Andre
Agassi the the final of the Lipton tournament. Sampras got sick and
could not take the court at the appointed time. Agassi insisted on
waiting until Sampras felt good enough to play, though he was
entitled to win through a forfeit. “I don’t want to win that way,”
he said.
On the Giuliani issue, I point everyone to my column of several
months back, “Giuliani Time” (here), in
which I made the point that pro-life conservatives would probably
ask themselves, “How much could this guy hurt me?” And the answer
would be, “Not much,” especially if he pledges to appoint
consructionist justices, and especially if George W. gets to make
another pick for the SCOTUS.
