quote of the day: heartfelt

“I can play hardball as well as anybody. That’s what I did, cut people’s hearts out. On the other hand, I do it to cure them, to heal them, to make them better.”

- Bill Frist, the Senate majority leader and a transplant surgeon

(Seen in the New York Times’ daily “Today’s Headlines” e-mail digest)
