I still love following and thinking about politics. I enjoy recommending important journalism I read or see from other sources.

I've always tried to be fair, even-handed, not an advocate for any group.

Journalism is not a precise science, it's a crude art

In dealing with the press, do yourself a favor, stick with one of three responses: (a) I know and I can tell you; (b) I know and I can't tell you; (c) I don't know.

One finds oneself saying: 'I know the right question, but ... this is not exactly the right time to ask it.'

Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.
