I've Been Described As A Grizzled Political

For Me, A Really Radical Position For Journalism To Take Is To Stop Being Cynical. Cynicism Is What Passes For Insight Among The Mediocre.

I Think That If You Make A Strong Statement Of Principle, Even If The Folks Disagree With You, People Will Respect You For It.

For Those Of Us Who Consider Ourselves Political Moderates, Life Is A Dispiriting Slog, A Sorry Mix Of Rectitude And Ineptitude.

I Came To Political Consciousness With John F. Kennedy's Magnificent 1961 Inaugural Address. It Seemed The Start Of Something Fresh And Exciting, And It Was.

I Got Into Journalism Because I Came Of Age In The '60s. It Just Seemed One Way For Me To Get Things Done.
