With the end of the nominating process, American politics leaves logic behind.

The power of the press in America is a primordial one. It sets the agenda of public discussion; and this sweeping political power is unrestrained by any law. It deter- mines what people will talk and think about-an authority that in other nations is reserved for tyrants, priests, parties and mandarins.

There is no excitement anywhere in the world, short of war, to match the excitement of the American presidential campaign.

You can't get unless you give. And you have to give without wanting to get.

I happen to think that American politics is one of the noblest arts of mankind; and I cannot do anything else but write about it.

With the end of the nominating process, American politics leaves logic behind.

The flood of money that gushes into politics today is a pollution of democracy.
