The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.

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

The biggest difference between Kennedy and Nixon, as far as the press is concerned, is simply this: Jack Kennedy really liked newspaper people and he really enjoyed sparring with journalists.

If an investigative reporter finds out that someone has been robbing the store, that may be 'gotcha' journalism, but it's also good journalism.

Maybe some of today's papers have too many 'feel-good' features, but there is a lot of good news out there.

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.
