I'm interested in Russian language, culture, history... and I lived there, for four years, as a reporter for the Washington Post and have visited many times since.

I left Gorbachev's office thinking that everything about him was outsized: his achievements, his mistakes, and, now, his vanity and bitterness.

I think we should be alarmed, watchful, and, as journalists, rigorous and fearless. I think we should be alert.

Trump's rise is troubling not just on an American level but on an international level.

As journalists, we need to find every avenue to distribute our work, and try to be so good that we become increasingly more influential than before.

I think the Electoral College is an absurd 18th-century construct. But that is the law.
