Among them: "Not as many Osmonds as I thought"; "Got tired of corkscrew landings"; "Once Ann realized I couldn't win, fundraising dried up"; "Flawed theory that as UT goes so goes the nation"; and, "I'd rather get fat, grow a beard and try for a Nobel Prize" (Hotline reporting, 4/16). Romney also explained, "As a lifelong hunter, I didn't want to miss the start of varmint season" (Argentsinger/Roberts, Washington Post, 4/17).
