Quotable quotes

Red Auerbach, president of the Boston Celtics, on how, if it were necessary, he would discipline forward Larry Bird: ``I wouldn't fine him. I could fine him any amount and he wouldn't say anything. If I really wanted to punish him, I'd tell him he can't play the next couple of games. That would be the worst thing you could do to Larry.'' Roy Eisenhardt, president of the Oakland A's: ``I don't see why a minor leaguer has to live on saltines while some major leaguers are making millions. It bothers me that I have to pay some of my players a hundred times what I'm paying others.''

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
