We should put pressure on power and write the truth and write relentlessly and fearlessly. That's the job.

I think dealing with the U.S. Senate is very different from dealing with the electorate.

Every good journalist is aware that his trade may one day go the way of phrenology-and, what's more, the population will hardly protest the extinction.

The fact that certain composers have been able to create first-class music within the medium of film proves that film music can be as good as the composer is gifted.
