As for his long-term future in a state where basketball is huge but where Wichita State will also never usurp the Kansas Jayhawks in terms of fans or interest, Marshall said Thursday: “I have a great job. I could retire there, I hope. … But at the same time, if the right situation ever came along at the right time, I haven’t closed any doors. I listen. But I am very cautious on making moves. … I don’t care if you pay me $5 million a year and I’m getting my brains beat out, I’m not going to be very happy.” HCGM

What happened in Boston is quite simply – unimaginable. On a day when friends and families gathered, traveling from all over the world to celebrate and strive for greatness, an act of terror destroyed lives and shattered a sense of security. But this terrorist, or group of terrorists, whether foreign or domestic, will never succeed in robbing us of our way of life – nor will they escape our system of justice. I extend my deepest sympathies and my prayers to the families and loved ones of all of those killed and injured in this heartless attack. I commend the brave first responders in Boston, and the kind and generous spirit of all of those Bostonians, and others, who rushed to help. They exhibited the true spirit of America. Emanual Cleaver

“It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished.
But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, “whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,” and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.”John Adams on why he defended in court the British soldiers in the Boston Massacre
