"I played Quiz Bowl against several teams, one of
whom beat me badly, and wow, did they know a lot of
stuff. I was amazed that they knew what treaty ended the
Russo-Turkish War (Treaty of San Stefano!) and something about
the Ort Interplanetary Belt. They know a fantastic
amount of stuff."

American Spectator_, December 2000, p. 52.
