Where once such devices were relegated to appropriate times, now they've become necessities. The other day I watched a kid come off the school bus listening to music on his headphones, oblivious to the traffic zooming past him. And I can't even begin to count the times I've thought pet owners were talking to their dogs while taking them for a walk when, in reality, they were blabbing on their cell phones. It's a different level of use than we've seen in the past, ... It's becoming more of a full-day listening experience as opposed to just when you're jogging.

If Communism goes, I've still got the U.S. House of Representatives.

Gary Hart is going to be all over the political spectrum fuzzing it up just like Jack Kennedy.

I'm 72-years-old. There's not a hell of a lot they can do to me. I will continue to report what I see and what I feel to be true.

With nearly two years remaining in his presidency, George W. Bush is alone. In half a century, I have not seen a president so isolated from his own party in Congress - not Jimmy Carter, not even Richard Nixon as he faced impeachment. Republicans in Congress do not trust their president to protect them.

The member of Congress who is not making a career of politics looks quite differently at the world.
