...Moore, who has sworn off Hollywood adaptations of his comics since his League of Extraordinary Gentlemen flopped as a film in 2003. "I see there is an elephant in the room," said Gibbons. "I wish Alan could feel the same excitement and joy I'm feeling. I wish he hadn't had such a bad experience in the past...
...shield," there was no one to protect Norman, who paid for his actions. Though a likely 200-m finalist at the Munich Games four years later, he wasn't sent. Nor was he invited to Sydney in 2000.

Stephen said so many gays use "Don't ask, don't tell...
There is, of course, an argument for experience, especially when the issues are complex and the special interests cunning. House Speaker Tip O'Neill used to grumble about the "bed wetters," the fresh-faced Democrats who hadn't been around long enough to know how to resist pressure from the Reagan White House. There's a reason roughly half the people who write the laws have law degrees. But surely there's value in having some teachers as legislators when No Child Left Behind is on the table, or some doctors and nurses on the committees dissecting health-care proposals...
