(FORTUNE Magazine) – -- MARTIN LEVINE, 41, general marketing manager for Jeep, on the licensing agreement under which Murjani Merchandising will put the Jeep name on many kinds of consumer products: ''We get an 11-year-old kid on a Jeep bike, and when he gets to be car-buying age, he's going to think about this rugged bike he had.''

-- WILLIAM S. SESSIONS, 58, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where nearly half the 9,597 agents could retire within nine years: ''We must develop effective measures to respond to our extraordinary hiring needs. Somehow it feels like bobbing for apples at Halloween with your hands behind your backs.''

-- EARL WIENER, 55, a University of Miami professor of management science, telling the Air Line Pilots Association (in jest) about 21st-century aircraft: ''The crew will consist of one pilot and a dog. The pilot will be there to nurture and feed the dog. The dog will be there to bite the pilot if he touches anything.''
