Your turn

Sporting News, The, May 26, 2003

* The Flyers have a chance to win the Cup next year, of the coaching staff learns how to do the Heimlich maneuver.

Derek Mantz
Hershey, Pa.

* Is anyone from Michigan sorry Chris Webber went down for the playoffs with a knee injury? After he brought down the once-pound Wolverines basketball program and said he didn't feel sorry for Michigan's team, I don't think so.

Jim Johnson
Sault Ste. Marie,
Mich.

* Poor Frank Thomas. If only those mean pitchers would stop taking advantage of his complete inability to cover half the plate, he could hit for a higher average.

Rob Venanzi
Glassboro, N.J.

* Hey, Michael Jordan: Welcome to the real world, where if you can't perform your job, you're fired.

Zach Steiner
Milton, Wis.

* I don't care how Annika Sorenstam does in the Colonial, but I'll get a chuckle if she gets a better score than Vijay Singh.

Amber Agne
St. Louis

* Daunte Culpepper is going to be the third-highest paid QB in NFL history? Now I know the world truly has gone mad.

Bruce Bradley
Madison, Wis.

* If you give Culpepper an offensive line, a couple receivers, a running threat and a good defense, the Vikings will have a chance at the Super Bowl.

George Mesa
Portland

* I wonder how long Roger Clemens would have survived throwing "bow ties" in the National League, where he would have personally suffered the retaliation.

Steve Bill
Washington, Ill.

    How to Win at Office Politics

    Like it or not, every workplace is a political environment. But operating effectively within it doesn’t have to mean sucking up, lying, or slinging dirt.

To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
