?Valentine Petrovsky, Soviet track coach, basking in 85� weather in Los Angeles during a Russian tour of the indoor track circuit: "Napoleon should have invaded California."

? Bill Lee, Boston Red Sox pitcher: "I'm mad at Hank Aaron for deciding to play one more season. I threw him his last home run and thought I would be remembered forever. Now I'll have to throw him another."
