History is nothing if not an epic tale of missed opportunities.
Graydon Carter
I walk down the street and people don't go, 'my God, there he is.' I lead as normal a life as you can lead in New York City.
Graydon Carter
I have always thought you could take the measure of a man by his sports manners - that is to say, the way in which he conducts himself on the playing field, or even over a game of chess or cards.
