There is nothing like daily journalism! Best damn job in the world!

It's very hard to stand up to the government which is saying that publication will threaten national security. People don't seem to realize that reporters and editors know something about national security and care deeply about it.

Sure, some journalists use anonymous sources just because they’re lazy, and I think editors ought to insist on more precise identification even if they remain anonymous.

It is my experience that most claims of national security are part of a campaign to avoid telling the truth.

Those [Watergate] tapes are going to take me to my grave with a huge smile on my face.
