You can criticize any news staff in some ways, but the one thing that you couldn't call the Village Voice staff was a staff of stenographers, taking notes from public figures and just passing them on.

Pol Pot carried out through the years enormous purges against his own followers because of his paranoia.

My own reaction from a distance is that Pol Pot's demise as the leader of the Khmer Rouge was inevitable, and that his own paranoia did him in as much as anything else.

I don't judge myself by what someone says.

It's very easy to say that something is a shadow of itself, and it may be true in some senses.

The Voice has always been an alternative paper. They have always understood that that was part of their role.

We Americans are the ultimate innocents. We are forever desperate to believe that this time the government is telling us the truth.
