“The whole movie thing has never been a source of great pride for me, in that Burt Reynolds, who starred in the picture, butchered the original script I had written for the late Steve McQueen, and the result, while a massive moneymaker, was lashed by the critics. But like the old joke about Pierre the Bridge Builder, The Cannonball Run is indelibly inscribed on my so-called career portfolio, and few conversations with strangers pass without the subject of the picture arising.” WholeRunningResultsCareersWrittenSubjectsSourcePrideConversationLateJokesOriginalsCriticsScriptsStrangerBridgesMassiveBuilderPortfoliosMcqueenOld JokesCannonballs Author:Brock Yates

“These teachings in regard to woman so faithfully reflect the provisions of the canon law that it is fair to infer that their inspiration came from the same source, written by men, translated by men, revised by men. If the Bible is to be placed in the hands of our children, read in our schools, taught in our theological seminaries, proclaimed as God's law in our temples of worship, let us by all means call a council of women in New York, and give it one more revision from the woman's standpoint.” IfsMenGivingMeanChildrenHandsInspirationSchoolLawWrittenAtheismTeachingNew YorkTaughtSourceWorshipFairsRegardOur ChildrenPositive AtheismTemplesCouncilProvisionStandpointTheologicalRevisionCanon Author:Elizabeth Cady Stanton
