I believe the Times is a great newspaper, but a profoundly fallible one.

Baseball is a pretty sight and a nice experience, win or lose, particularly if it is watched in a nice park.

That the Op-Ed page is very important in readers' and the nation's perception of the Times, the perception of its editorial positions, and of its implicit editorial positions as expressed by the publisher's choice of people who are given the freedom to write opinion columns.

It's a very complicated issue about when is a fact not a fact in the context of opinions.

I know there are reporters who ridicule pundits.

The Times' new credibility committee report that was issued on Monday very specifically said they will be putting in a policy that reporters must get permission from their department heads to appear on television, which I think is a really good thing.

I'm afraid we'll see reporters stop chasing quotes around the same time dogs stop chasing cars.
