When strangers start acting like neighbors... communities are reinvigorated.

The networks are not some chicken-coop manufacturing lobby whose calls nobody returns.

The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.

I don't think meals have any business being deductible. I'm for separation of calories and corporations.

Young wives are the leading asset of corporate power. They want the suburbs, a house, a settled life, and respectability. They want society to see that they have exchanged themselves for something of value.

The corporations are worried about their reputational damage and a lot of the social media inflicts that, but it's hard to measure it.

One day at Princeton, I noticed there were dead birds on the pavement between the campus buildings, where very large trees were. It turns out it was DDT. At the time, in the early '50s, no one thought DDT was dangerous to anybody but insects. I went down to the Daily Princetonian, the college paper, and tried to persuade them to do a story. They said, "Naw, there's nothing wrong." But that taught me a very important lesson. One, that newspaper people can get very jaded. Second, that you might know something, like an expert chemistry professor, you are not going to apply what you know.
