MacLean's: You compare creationists to Holocaust deniers—history deniers is the term you’ve coined. Isn’t that a little over the top?
Richard Dawkins: No. They are both very similar—both are denying what is a perfectly manifest fact. In the case of Holocaust deniers it’s more recent history, but in both cases the evidence— in favour of the Holocaust and evolution—is simply overwhelming. That doesn’t mean they are morally or politically equivalent. But they are equivalent in denying history.

NHL Lawyer Shep Goldfein questions...

Goldfein: Would you agree that Wayne Gretzky believes that NHL hockey can succeed in Arizona?
Wright: I've not spoken with Wayne Gretzky, so I don't know what he's said.
Goldfein: If that was his view, by being part of the Ice Edge group, would you be in disagreement with him.
Wright: I don't know what his view was.
Goldfein: That's not my question, sir. If his view WERE that NHL hockey can work and be successful in Glendale, you would disagree with him, correct?
Wright: What I would say is that, from the financial numbers that I have been exposed to and privy to, is that the financial results and the research that we did, and the historical level of fan support from the numbers that I saw, and from the analysis that I did, I still believe that, in the city of Glendale, the NHL will not be successful.
Goldfein: To cut through all of that, you would disagree with Mr. Gretzky, if that was his view, correct?
Wright: Like I said, I don't know what Mr. Gretzky's view was. I'm just telling you what my view is.
