I think this is a part of John McCain that a lot of people don't know about, is that he took younger senators under his wing.

We need to be very thoughtful about how we propose to spend the money that NASA does have for space exploration.

I was fortunate to be around a couple of coaches who took me under their wing and taught me how to train, how to work and how to prepare myself for a game.
