    This is the first time we have worked with Apache and we are delighted that they have chosen Duffy McGovern modules for this project. The four-man units which Apache has selected for this project still represent one of the most flexible and popular offshore sleeper modules in the North Sea and comply comfortably with new HSE guidelines.

    Watson said McGovern has remained honest and humble and has never forgotten his South Dakota roots. If McGovern won the Nobel Peace Prize, it wouldn't change him one bit, ... It would bring an even higher profile to the work he did.


    George McGovern said Hunter's coverage of the 1972 election was the least factually accurate but the most truthful portrait of the campaign. But I don't give Frey the free pass on this one. I'm old-fashioned. I like to know if something's a novel or fiction.


    I am hopeful that the scientific research done at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research can make significant contributions to advancing human learning and communication within the next 20 years,

Every single night, when she sings 'Days of Plenty' to me because Jo's got writer's block because of a death in the family, it's a struggle for me not to break into tears and fall apart, because I've still got to sing this big 11 o'clock number of my own.

I agreed with a charming message I got from George McGovern after he had been defeated for the presidency. He recalled making some bitter remarks about a couple of our columnists at a dinner party but wrote me, 'I have regretted that outburst and I have also established that the maximum time I can carry a grudge is about three months.
