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

In the perfect world every source could be identified, but like the man said, "It's not a perfect world."

Everybody who talks to a newspaper has a motive. That's just a given. And good reporters always, repeat always, probe to find out what that motive is.

I do worry about how newspapers respond to falling circulation figures. I'm not sure that the answer is for newspapers to try to cater to whatever seems to be the fad of the day.

Generals who can write always make me nervous.
