One of the exciting things about reporting is going to places you've never been to before.

If someone is going to criticize what you've written and you believe in what you've written then you should respond.

I don't have many friends in Philadelphia. I sort of have one. I have the dog and someone else.

I am 5'6' and desperately wish I was taller.

But I would much prefer students going to college to learn and be prepared for the rigors of the new economic order, rather than dumping fees on them to subsidize football programs that, far from enhancing the academic mission instead make a mockery of it.

Actually, my dog I think is the only person who consistently loves me all the time.

I worked at my high school newspaper at Andover, which came out weekly, unusual for a high school paper. Then my first day at Penn I went right to the 'Daily Pennsylvanian' and pretty much spent most of my college career working both as the sports editor and then editor of the editorial page.
