"If I have six patients on intravenous, each on seven medications, if you've added so much activity to my day that I don't have time to go to the bathroom, I don't have time to eat, something's wrong."

-- Linda Pellico, lecturer at the School of Nursing, about the demands on nurses today, "As Nursing Shortage Looms, One Hospital Finds Creative Solution," The Associated Press, March 9, 2003.

§

"Americans don't like it when others object to American unilateralism."

-- John Merriman, the Charles Seymour Professor of History, about France's refusal to support war with Iraq, "Some Look Askance at France's Stance," The Republican-American, March 8, 2003.

§

"One of the things that this war is going to do, it's going to reawaken some concerns about terror, and the leaders of the country are trying to really keep those separate. But you do need to listen to [whether] your kids think: does war mean terrorism? Ask them this, ask them that question and get them talking about it. It's talking with your kids that is the best thing you can do for them."

-- Dr. Kyle Pruett, clinical professor of psychiatry, "American Family Answering Children's Questions About War," "Good Morning America," ABC News, March 19, 2003.

§

"People can attain rapid weight loss and lower cholesterol by eliminating any entire food category from their diets, but that doesn't mean it's good for them."

-- Dr. David Katz, associate clinical professor of epidemiology & public health and medicine, about the controversial Atkins Diet, "Your Health; Just Say 'No' to Fad Diets," The Boston Globe, March 11, 2003.

§

"Giving patients information that's interactive and problem-specific is very different from having it just randomly broadcast at them. You can't ask the television questions. That means the relative benefits of the Patient Channel versus its potential benefits goes way down."

-- Mark Schlesinger, associate professor of public health, about a 24-hour network being piped into hospitals, "Patient Channel in Hospitals: Healthy Move?" The Christian Science Monitor, March 19, 2003.

§

"The only thing [U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan] could be doing now is quiet diplomacy. He may be doing that. He wouldn't want anyone to know."

-- Jean Krasno, associate research scientist in political science, about the U.S.-Iraq conflict, "Annan 'Keeps Head Down' as Giants Battle, But Will Re-Emerge To Stress U.N. Role, Experts Say," The Associated Press, March 17, 2003.

§

"Jeans and denim are really the only products that Mexico has been able to compete in."

-- Jennifer Bair, assistant professor of sociology, "Struggle: South of the Border; The Textile Experiment in Mexico Showed Promise, But Problems Piled Up Quickly. Ultimately, Corporate Mistakes and Economic Misfortunes Led to Failures," News & Record (Greensboro, NC), March 16, 2003.

§

"If [children] hear about death counts and people dying, they're going to ask some questions about that. ... The answer is, 'Yes, that's what happens in war. People die. And that's why we take these things so seriously and why we want to make sure that we do this as rarely as possible and always only when it's very necessary.'"

-- Dr. Steven Berkowitz, assistant professor at the Child Study Center, "Explaining the War to Children," "Morning Edition," National Public Radio, March 21, 2003.
