WASHINGTON -- The Arkansas Legislature had just rejected a cigarette tax that state health director M. Joycelyn Elders, the woman tapped to become the next U.S. surgeon general, had fervently lobbied for.Knowing his boss' five-alarm temper, Tom Butler, the director's longtime deputy, pulled Dr. Elders aside and went through his usual routine with her in the face of defeat and a gathering press mob. "Are you calm? Are you OK?" he asked."Yep," she said. "No problem."With that, the firebrand of Arkansas turned to the cameras: "They sold our children to the cigarette industry!"

On Maryland coach Gary Williams I hear some people calling for his head. I still think that coach Williams is a great college coach. [Williams] will force this current team to play the way he wants them to play and force them into roles that they aren't suited for. It's not too late to fix things. I'd like to see Gary give the reins to the freshmen.
