"Deep apologies, but it was either come this way, or not at all."

His televised apology last week came in response to growing street demonstrations.

His apology, in English, came only after aggressive questioning at a news conference.

It's not as though these apologies are coming out of the blue.

The apology, in a statement released Tuesday night, came after two weeks of criticism.

The apology came in an appearance on the Today show.

An apology to consumers came more than a week after the first public reports that people had fallen ill.

The apology wouldn't come; he thought it less than useless.

The public apology came after a day of meetings by the Nets to address the situation.
