"IT'S NOT HOW YOU START, IT'S HOW YOU FINISH"
...
The New Jersey Nets now have a five-game winning streak. Jason Kidd checked
his deodorant ("Winning is the best deodorant")
.. and then provided another clutch sport cliche. This is probably  from
horseracing, later made popular by the Broadway musical SEESAW (1973). The  Nets
next play Memphis on Thursday, and expect them to play with heart, miles  and
miles and miles of heart::

As for the three-game homestand the Nets kicked off Tuesday night, Kidd
conceded, "This homestand is big for us."
And the winning streak? "It couldn't come at a better time," he said. "It's
not how you start. It's how you finish."

I'm a big football fan. I've watched enough games in my life to pick up all
the cliches and superstitions the announcers, coaches and players talk about.
My  two favorite are : "I'd rather be lucky than talented" and "It's not how
you  start, it's how you finish."

"It's Not How You Start But How You Finish. . . "

Coaches love to trot out the pat cliches. In part, this is the result of the
reporters' need for a quick take. Realizing that the reporter can/will only
use  the juiciest part of the interview, coaches simply do the editing for the
reporters and try to ensure that what comes out the other end is a sanitized,
 safe statement.

But coaches also resort to cliches to explain away the  inexplicable and the
unforeseen. And it is in this respect that Vikings' head  coach Mike Tice has
so often trotted out the refrain that "it's not how you  start, but how you
finish that matters."

Working with Cy Coleman, Dorothy Fields' career got a fresh wind. She stepped
 easily into the seedy world of the Fan-Dango Ballroom and the musical _Sweet
 Charity_ (http://www.nodanw.com/shows_s/sweet_charity.htm)  - surely as far
from Fred and Ginger as one can get? Her  last hit song was from her second
collaboration with Coleman, _Seesaw _ (http://www.nodanw.com/shows_s/seesaw.htm)
(1973).  Fittingly, it was entitled 'It's Not Where You Start, It's Where You
Finish'.

Holiday Tribute to the Homeland

FOOD can provide sustenance even when the cupboard is bare.  Memoirs of food
in times of privation have been written about places as  far-flung as Russia,
China, Eastern Europe and the American West.
And now Hanka Sawka, a Polish immigrant, has added her voice to this canon,
recalling the hearty soups and rich cakes that families managed to serve,
especially for holidays like Easter, despite shortages under the Communist
regime

In her book, "At Hanka's Table" (Lake Isle Press, 2004), which she wrote
with her daughter, Hanna Maria Sawka, Mrs. Sawka shines a spotlight on her life
in Poland and the strong emotional ties her native country still holds for
her,  even after nearly 30 years of living in the West.
