I Hope I Get Married One Day.

All Journalists Hope That Their Work Will Inspire A Broader Conversation. I Think That's Just What Journalism Is.

Often People Who Live Through The Trauma Are Nostalgic When It's Over. When I Went Back To Bosnia 20 Years After The Brutal Civil War, Even People Who Had Been Badly Wounded Told Me They Missed Those Times. They Were Missing Their More Courageous Selves.

I'm A Good Liberal, And I Grew Up In A Very Liberal Family And Had Very Strongly Held Beliefs.

I Don't Think People Would Climb Mountains Or Jump Off Bridges With Parachutes Or Kayak Class V Rapids If Those Things Didn't Offer The Brief And Horrible Illusion Of Imminent Death. They Would Just Be Complicated, Time-consuming Endeavors That We'd Steer Well Clear Of Because They Got In The Way Of Real Life.

I Would Never Want To Pass A Law Limiting Freedom Of Speech, But That Doesn't Mean We Have To Condone Statements That Undermine Basic National Unity And Respect. Imagine Being Asked To Defend A Country Where Some Citizens Say The Man In The White House Isn't Their President. Or A Major Presidential Contender Accuses The Commander In Chief Of Not Even Being A U.s. Citizen. Those Kinds Of Statements Erode Trust In Our Democracy, And It's Up To Both Parties To Publicly Reject Them. We Have To Restore Confidence That We Are A Nation That Loves And Believes In Itself.
