I think one thing we share [with my wife] is a complete bottomless disdain for Bill Clinton.

I wish [my wife] would [work] because - especially now the kind of - I mean, honesty is hardly the word. She writes with a ferocity of clarity that - nobody else around has now.

[Barack Obama] is a man who is causing us and will cause us a great deal of harm constitutionally and personally.

What's wrong with it is, it lowers, to say the least, the credibility of the magazine. And if I were writing for [The New Republic ], I would feel diminished because the owner had done such a thing [fire a journalist].

I went to a lecture of [Arthur Koestler ] once, I never met him.

I had written a book called "Boston Boy" some years ago, and that took me from the time I could speak, I guess, in Boston through the time when I finally left to come to New York. That book had a number of sort of rites of passage for me.

I am hesitant to say this about [Barack] Obama. Obama is a bad man in terms of the Constitution.
