They Said It

?Gaius Maecenas, Roman statesman (70-8 B.C.), on the Olympic Games: "Cities should not waste their resources on expenditure for a large number and variety of Games, lest they exhaust themselves in futile exertion and quarrel over unreasonable desire for glory."

?Major General Roland Reid, military coordinator for the Montreal Olympics: "The only way to get 100% security is to have everybody stay home."

? Barry Switzer , football coach at Oklahoma , asked whether he will stick with the wishbone: "Well, since we're 54-3-1 with it, I suppose we will."
