- “Skating world in a tizzy over scoring,” Star Tribune, Sept. 29, 2004. “The sport also took quick and dramatic action after its Olympic scandal, a move that sports arbitrator John Wendt said will help lay the groundwork for skating's image makeover. ‘There are always going to be difficulties with judged sports,’ said Wendt, an assistant professor of legal studies at the University of St. Thomas and a member of the International Court for Arbitration of Sport. ‘They've tried to remove some of the subjectivity and potential for impropriety. That's a good first step to get some credibility back, but it will be a long process.’ ” https://www.startribune.com/stories/503/5005883.html

- “In need of a pickup,” Star Tribune, Oct. 4, 2004. “The St. Paul plant situation alarms University of St. Thomas Professor Fred Zimmerman, who insists that Minnesota policymakers need to step up to the plate with a plan to ensure the state retains the Ranger plant. The state could lobby Ford to make a new hybrid Ranger here, for example. Or it could ask the St. Paul Port Authority to help link Ford with local metal stampers, a move that would slash supply transportation costs, Zimmerman said. Whatever the plan, Minnesota must act now. ‘You can’t yodel in the broccoli on this. We cannot just screw around with these major industrial companies that employ so many people,’ Zimmerman said. ‘We don’t have to give them huge subsidies, but we do have to get organized so that their needs can be fulfilled because they are under very great competitive pressures.’ ” https://www.startribune.com/stories/535/5011236.html
