Scott Hamilton, Olympic Hall of Fame

Scott Hamilton

Olympic Hall of Fame

When she (my mother) passed away, I kind of understood the commitment that she made to make sure that I could stay in skating and I wanted to live up to whatever I could. Not so much win everything, but just to be the best that I could possibly be, to honor her memory and everything she went through to make sure that I was given the opportunities to be the best that I can be. Not to be a world champion or an Olympic gold medalist, but to be the best that I could be. And that was the most important thing that ever happened in my career.

Scott Hamilton

Olympic Hall of Fame

I've always tried to share any successes that I've had. And, I've even shared some of the really horrible times, which I think is important, if you want to be a kind of honorary member of somebody's family. And, I just try to share as much as possible. And, when I skate I try to bring people on the ice with me emotionally, not actually physically. But, I want people to know that I'm there for them. That they're not there for me, I'm there for them.

Sir Edmund Hillary, Conqueror of Mt. Everest

Sir Edmund Hillary

Conqueror of Mt. Everest

Sir Edmund Hillary: I think most of our major challenges are not going to be in the physical field at all. I think they're going to be in the field of human relations, of getting on with each other, of contributing. People accepting that they have to contribute something, their thoughts, their ideas, maybe even their money, towards producing a world society that is perhaps a little bit more honest and reasonable than it is now.

David Ho, AIDS Research Pioneer

David Ho

AIDS Research Pioneer

David Ho: I think genuine scientific disagreement is healthy. That's how we move science forward. And, yes there are certain people who would disagree with me about how, say, the lymphocytes are specifically destroyed by HIV, so the mechanistic issues. It's a very controversial area. I have my views and others don't agree with those views, but each one of us are involved with experiments trying to prove our case or in fact sometimes disproving ourselves. So, that is good and that is what science should be.

David Ho

AIDS Research Pioneer

David Ho: You have to go with your beliefs. One can't be hypocritical about it. And, I think I wanted to send a strong message to the Journal that it's much more complicated than what we have discussed so far. I mean, if the Journal had a particular view, the best approach is to talk to the people involved, to have a dialogue with the U.S. scientists, with the African scientists and with the subjects that are enrolling and get a true understanding at the grass root level, rather than pontificate from the ivory tower of Harvard University or, you know, the New England Journal. I think that kind of approach is not appropriate.
