| Experience has made me skeptical of physicians' pronouncements and prognostications, especially about people with disabilities. |
| As academic life grew more removed from the convention, the prognostications became self-fulfilling prophecies. |
| So with these caveats in mind, I am willing to make a couple of straightforwardly vague prognostications. |
| Experts scurried to explain their errant prognostications, which had asserted that the race would be too close to call. |
| I suppose we could just thank our lucky stars that all the negative prognostications were all wet and leave it at that. |
| Although we have hesitated to stake our own success on prognostications for 2003, I am not optimistic on either of these two counts. |
