Being an editor it's a complicated job, but the last impression I'd want anybody to have is that it's onerous. It's a joy - a complicated joy, but a joy.

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.

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 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.
