I deeply regret those situations that have blemished the image of the University of Oklahoma, and I hope that I can rectify the embarrassment I have brought the university. ↗

I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image. ↗

Expensive advertising courts us with hints and images. The ordinary kind merely says, Buy. ↗
